Looking to

Social

During 2020 the hope that graduation would take place in person lingered far too long leaving UO communication in a rough spot when we realized we would be putting on the first ever virtual commencement. Internal comms turned to me to find ways to engage and connect with students on social media. I ended up pioneering UO’s live social events incorporation, students were able to @uoregon on social media and participate in commencement live. This transferred into the next two years communications, sporting events, and is now widely used across all communications at the University of Oregon.

The College Tour

Usually behind the camera The College Tour, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, gave me a chance to share the many resources that have shaped my UO experience, from academic support and study abroad, to obtaining a campus job that led to my choice of major.

 

Student Profiles

During wildfire season in 2021 I searched for a UO angle on the current crisis and found two student fire fighters on instagram,

“Ducks Talulah Beisel and Kyle Trefny are among the thousands of wildland firefighters battling blazes across the West this summer.
Talulah is a fourth-year student majoring in human physiology and minoring in music, and Kyle is a second-year majoring in economics and minoring in environmental studies.

"This is our first year on fires," Kyle said. "We’re on a hand crew, putting out active areas, setting back-burns and helping residents make their homes resilient. I’ve worked in the Ochoco National Forest in Oregon and spent most of the summer on the Divide Complex fires in Montana, where I got to work with Talulah!"

Said Talulah: “I really wanted to work in an outdoor setting while doing something productive for the environment.”

We are very grateful for Kyle, Talulah and all of the firefighters who are on the frontlines protecting our communities and keeping us safe.”
