A summer trip to France gave 20 UO students a chance to learn a little more about art — and a lot more about themselves and others.

It was kind of a mixed-media group: some were art majors but others study business, math or social sciences. Some were current or former student-athletes; others were not. But together they immersed themselves in the challenges of representing place, identity and race through art.

Sometimes, the most exciting thing Ducks do here isn’t even done here.

In the 1800s, it was called Dr. Coe’s Nervous Sanitarium. That’s one of the old names for Morningside Hospital, a psychiatric facility in Portland touched by controversy over 85 years of operation.

Global Education Oregon is accepting applications from UO staff members, including officers of administration and classified employees, to serve as study abroad program assistants at select locations. Two grants will be awarded in 2019.

UO President Michael Schill enjoyed a surprise visit last week from Poland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Witold Waszczykowski. The brief exchange at Johnson Hall was a detour for the minister before he continued his international tour.

The month of July has been busy for 22 GEO Study Abroad students in Rosario, Argentina. The program consists of two cohorts, one from the UO School of Journalism and Communications and the other focuses on human rights and social justice issues.

With more than 3,250 students from Asia and 22 exchange agreements, it is easy to see the region is essential to the University of Oregon. So it makes perfect sense that Michael Schill’s first international journey as president has taken him on a 10-day barnstorming trip across the region.
