Academic Hiring
This is an exciting time for the University of Oregon. As we step into the future, we must focus on our vision of pursuing academic excellence in all that we do. This vision will be realized by expanding our faculty and enhancing our capacity for innovation and research. In addition to expanding our faculty, the university is recruiting for several important executive academic leadership positions.
Strategic Framework
President Schill and I are pleased to share with you the final strategic framework document, simply and appropriately titled, “EXCELLENCE.” This document is the culmination of over a year of work by more than fifty individuals who served on four strategic work groups. The final strategic framework document articulates a vision for the UO and establishes clear priorities and strategies to help realize that vision.
Additional Provost's Updates
Undergraduate Studies
The Division of Undergraduate Studies (UGS) fosters the culture of inquiry at the heart of a superior residential research university. Undergraduate Studies promotes academic excellence, engagement, access, and success for all students. UGS programs support and supplement a student's educational journey, nurturing intellectual development and personal growth.
International Affairs
The Office of International Affairs (OIA) works to make the UO a more global university. In the 21st century higher education, international engagement is not an optional extra. OIA works to support and integrate the wide range of international engagements, global-scale projects, and transnational partnerships launched and maintained in our many academic units.
UO in Portland
The University of Oregon has long been part of the fabric of Portland. And while home will always be Eugene, we hold Portland close to our heart. Each school and college in Portland is there to fill a specific need. Professional academic programs align students with industry leaders. Other departments bring the resources and partnerships of campus to alumni, donors, friends and prospective students.
