The Oregon Senate voted Thursday to confirm the 14 people with ties to the University of Oregon who were appointed by Gov. John Kitzhaber this summer to serve on the UO's inaugural Board of Trustees.
The confirmed trustees include UO alumni, friends, faculty and staff members, and a student. Biographies of each are available on the university's Board of Trustees website.
The annual fundraiser put on by the Oregon Law Students Public Interest Fund (OLSPIF) titled “A Flurry of Giving” kicked off Nov. 4 and will run through Nov. 26.
OLSPIF sells decorated paper snowflakes in an effort to provide stipends for law students who want to spend their summers working in public service. They use the purchased snowflakes to decorate the School of Law’s Wayne Morse Commons.
John Laursen, editor of the Northwest Photography Series and co-author of “Wild Beauty: Photographs of the Columbia Gorge, 1867-1957,” will present a slide talk of photographs from the book at 7 p.m. Nov. 25 in Knight Library's Browsing Room, 1501 Kincaid St., Eugene.
