CAS Events

Join us each month of the academic year at the Mills International Center for a trip around the world. UO students and International Cultural Service Program (ICSP) members will organize presentations and activities on their home countries. Our next destinations are Mexico and China.

All events are free. Get ready for takeoff!

Are you interested in completing an internship abroad through a GlobalWorks program? Attend GEO's GlobalWorks Information Session on June 2 from 1pm to 2pm in Condon Hall 203 to learn more! We'll discuss the application process, answer any questions, and share more about our NEW program locations in Santiago, Chile; Sydney, Australia; and Cape Town, South Africa.

Join University Health Services medical staff and peer educators. Students can run, walk (or roll) and connect with UO healthcare providers.

UHS clinical staff (including a physician, nurse practitioner, physician associate and athletic trainer) will lead a run and walk (or roll) for any interested students. No matter your pace/experience level we hope you'll join us. We'll have one healthcare professional joining the running group, and one hanging out with those who prefer to walk. Duck Nest peer educators will also be there. We'll be offering this opportunity twice this term:

Wednesday, May 20 from 4-5pm as well as Tuesday, June 2 from 1-2pm. Meet outside of UHS and we'll head out on our route from there.

The Pacific Northwest: a geographic area ranging from Alaska to Northern California, to Montana (including British Columbia). The Indigenous languages of this area were and remain interconnected with one another. Recently, the area has been a hotbed for language revitalization and reclamation work.

The Symposium on Northwest American Indigenous Languages (SNAIL), hosted by the Northwest Native American Language Resource Center (NW-NALRC) at the Northwest Indigenous Language Institute (NILI), seeks to provide a venue for language speakers, artists, communities, and linguists to come together to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and celebrate the beauty and diversity of languages within the Pacific Northwest.

We invite talks on any topic relevant to Indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest. We do prioritize presentations from presenters that: a) are Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest or neighboring regions; b) work for a Tribal Nation in the Pacific Northwest or neighboring regions; or c) are working in collaboration with a Tribal Nation. While theoretical and typological presentations are welcome to apply, they will not be given priority over the work of one of the above groups. SNAIL 2026 will be held from June 26-27 in Eugene in conjunction with the NILI Summer Institute.
