Statement on Ukraine

March 15, 2022

Dear UO community,

As the war against Ukraine continues into a third week, I write to extend and amplify the university’s response, first articulated on the Division of Global Engagement homepage on February 24, 2022.

After two years of travel limits, Global Education Oregon sees highest enrollment ever

UO students will take part in simulated international climate change negotiations June 14 and 18 as participants in the APRU Student Global Climate Change Simulation. The APRU Climate Simulation is a role-playing exercise in which students worldwide participate in multi-disciplinary teams to play the role of delegates to the UN Climate Change Negotiations. In total, 170 students from 18 universities are participating in this year's simulation.

A 12-session virtual workshop series developed jointly by the APRU Global Health Program’s Global Health Education and Technology Working Group at the University of Southern California and the Global STEM Education Program at the University of Oregon has grown into an effective platform providing important support for higher education staff, cushioning the impact of COVID-19.

While deciding where to go to college, Grigorii Malakhov looked at cost, program options, and locations – he never expected he would have to take a pandemic into account.

At the Division of Global Engagement and International Student and Scholar Servies, we reiterate our stance in solidarity with our international students of Asian, Desi, and Pacific Islander backgrounds and stand against all forms of xenophobia and racism. We denounce any acts of discrimination and violence targeted against Asian and Asian American communities locally and nationally.

Yulissa Garcia-Serrato and her classmates were supposed to meet the former Croatian president during their study abroad trip to the Balkan country this summer. But after the Covid-19 pandemic caused the program to switch from in-person to an online learning environment, the University of Oregon senior feared her virtual travels wouldn’t amount to much of a trip.
