University of Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2008-09 academic year in a letter submitted recently to Oregon University System Chancellor George Pernsteiner and Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski.
An art museum expert with more than 20 years of experience acquiring major collections, working collaboratively with faculty and students and increasing endowments has been selected as the new executive director at the University of Oregon's Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA).
The university has a limited number of tickets to the U.S. Olympic Trials and will offer a lottery for faculty and staff members to be inside the gates at UO's Historic Hayward Field. There is no charge to enter the lottery, which is open only to UO faculty and staff members.
Earlier this month, the university issued a request for proposals for marketing and branding services as part of the ongoing work of the Integrated Marketing and Strategic Communications (IMSC) Task Force.
Eleven faculty from the College of Education, College of Arts and Sciences and School of Architecture and Allied Arts will be recognized next month for their stellar achievements in fostering new knowledge, creative endeavors, and connections of scholarship to the larger community.
The University of Oregon’s Museum of Natural and Cultural History will offer hands-on activities related to the "Walk a Mile in These Shoes -- The Stories They Tell" exhibit, on Saturday, May 17.
The first time professor of architecture Alison Kwok attended the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) conference, she was a graduate student from UC-Berkeley. As she presented her paper, she said, "I was so nervous, my knees were shaking. I was hoping no one would ask a question."
