UO researchers and scholars were recently featured in stories about undocumented students, the role of fractals in Rorschach’s inkblots and what Facebook live means for journalism. 



Jane Irungu, the UO’s assistant VP for student engagement, spoke with Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Think Out Loud about her role as the UO's point of contact and resource for international students and students covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Here are some other places where UO researchers were mentioned in the media:
