The entire campus community is invited to celebrate the formal installation of Michael H. Schill as the 18th president of the University of Oregon.

The president will talk about the steps being taken to secure the UO's academic standing and will take questions from the audience.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden will receive the 14th annual Frohnmayer Award for Public Service at a reception following the symposium. Both events are in Portland.

The proposal increases tuition for undergraduate resident students by $405 per year and $1,350 per year for nonresident undergraduates.

The reception will be an opportunity to hear from campus leaders about the need for candidates and volunteers for the Senate and committees.

The ceremony marks the formal transfer of authority to a new president before faculty members in full academic regalia and the university community.

Wyden and Sen. Jeff Merkley helped secure a $400,000 grant for the new National Center for Advanced Wood Products Manufacturing and Design.

Eighty-three faculty members in the college received 94 awards and honors for their teaching and research in the past year.

Trisha Burnett has served as interim auditor since November and will continue as head of the Office of Internal Audit at the university.

Under the proposal, which still must go before the Board of Trustees, resident tuition at the UO would remain below that of peer research universities.
