The future is unknowable, but Information Services and UO Libraries will be ready for it.
The University of Oregon departments have launched a collaborative “Listening Tour” to better understand what faculty, researchers, administrators, staff, GTFs and students across campus have to say about goals, pending initiatives and projects relating to technology.
Kathryn Lynch, an environmental anthropologist and co-director of the University of Oregon's Environmental Leadership Program, has been named one of 10 Chevrolet GREEN Educator Award-winners from around the country for 2012.
Earth Force and the General Motors Foundation make the awards to inspirational educators who engage youth in innovative and interactive environmental learning.
Meeting sites for this week's discussions of an equity and inclusion action plan and restructuring of the UO's Office of Equity and Inclusion have been changed to accommodate the expected high interest in both topics.
The University of Oregon's Office of Equity and Inclusion will host three town hall meetings during the first week of winter term to gather input from across campus about an equity and inclusion action plan. The meetings signal the start of a process to update OEI's strategic plan for diversity.
The Oregon Humanities Center’s “being human/human being” series continues in late January with two lectures by Dr. Ira Byock, director of palliative medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire.
During his medical school residency in the late 1970s, Byock witnessed his father’s battle with pancreatic cancer. The experience was transformative, and ultimately led Byock into the fields of hospice and palliative care. He is now one of the leading proponents of compassionate end-of-life care in the United States.

“Airmail,” a solo show by visiting UO Department of Art faculty member Sylvan Lionni, continues at Stene Projects in Stockholm, Sweden, through Jan. 12.
Lionni, who is teaching painting and drawing, represents a new generation of contemporary minimalism and abstract painters. He uses existing forms or ideas as drawings; his paintings are neither pictures, nor primary structures, nor allusions. While complicated to make, they look simple and can be seen at a glance.
Heard recently on campus: "No problem, I can JV that out of your index." FYI, you read it at AtO first. Right here at the UO – or should we say, Alphabet Soup U.
When it comes to "return on innovation," it looks like another banner year for the University of Oregon.
