Racing to Change chronicles the civil rights movement in Eugene, Oregon, during the 1960s and 1970s—a time of great upheaval, conflict, and celebration as new voices clashed with traditional organizations of power. Co-developed by the Museum of Natural and Cultural History and Oregon Black Pioneers, the exhibit illuminates legacies of racism and the unceasing efforts of Oregon's Black communities to bring about change. 

Through photographs, recorded interviews, and historical archives, Racing to Change explores how racist policies and attitudes created a pressing need for bold civil rights activism in Eugene. Firsthand accounts from movement organizers, former UO students, elected officials, and other members of Oregon's black communities paint a vivid picture of the area's past, and urge us to take part in building a more just future. On view through May 10, 2020.

A sustainable future depends on our ability to provide creative solutions locally, here in Eugene, Oregon, that transfer globally, across continents. The University of Oregon and the community of for-profit, non-profit, and public sectors throughout the region stand at the intersection of research and environmental science and offer the ideal platform for solving sustainability-related challenges.

The 2020 Global Leadership Challenge, Achieving Environmental Sustainability Across Sectors, will bring together undergraduate students from the UO, the US, and around the world to unite focus on the globally critical and increasingly pressing challenge of sustainability. Participants will complete a two-week intensive program in which they will work with three community partners each from a different local sector to address a sustainability related challenge which pertains to their work. Along the way students will complete interactive workshops, learn how to collaborate cross culturally, develop leadership skills, connect with peers from around the world, and gain valuable professional experience.
