Call to Actio

At the University of Oregon, equity and inclusion are about ensuring that all of students, faculty and staff achieve their highest potential. We do this through the power of love—intentionally nurturing the growth and development of every individual in ways that build excellence, wellbeing, and the common good. We aspire to lead with kindness and respond in ways that are hopeful. 

Our community reflects Oregon’s diverse topography. It’s as enduring as the Cascades, vast as the Coast and fertile like Willamette Valley--with ideas and people that positively impact the world. Like the High Desert, our people are resilient through challenge and adversity. 

Together, we’re cultivating a flourishing community that is as vibrant as the land itself. 

 

Our work focuses on four areas:

Silhouette art of students walking.

Our advisors are cultural navigators who connect our students with resources and opportunities to reach their academic potential. We collaborate to prepare Ducks for impactful lives and meaningful careers.

University of Oregon community around a big O.

We shape collective experiences that strengthen our shared commitment to one another and to our future. We seek to foster a community where love, growth, well-being, resilience and purpose are at the center of all that we do.

Stories That Heal: Commemorating Native American Heritage Month through Theater and Tradition
This November, the stage at Very Little Theatre’s Stage Left will come alive with BlueJay’s Canoe, a poignant and humorous play by Professor Emerita Theresa May and Elder-in-Residence Marta Lu Clifford (Chinook, Cree, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde). Running from November 7 to 23, the production tells the story of two contemporary Indigenous families navigating life, loss, and legacy.
Fall Forward: Building Community with Love
Just days ago, Provost Chris Long and I welcomed a small group from the Class of 2029 during their tour of Tykeson Hall, part of the New Student Fall Retreat — a signature student success program from the Center for Multicultural Academic Excellence.
