Meet Meera Bowman-Johnson

Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Alma Mater: Spelman College

What do you like best about working at the University? I love the school spirit, and the natural beauty that exists throughout our sprawling campus and the surrounding area.  

What is your best advice for new UO students? Get involved. That's where you'll find "your people", have opportunities to gain leaderships skills (take them!) and make lifelong friends.

What is your favorite “hidden gem” in Oregon? The Eugene Family YMCA. It's a place that makes every member feel welcomed. And with free coffee on the weekends and a yoga studio that faces the mountains, what's not to love?
