Student Life

Meet the Class of 2016

On June 13, several thousand UO students will don caps and gowns, stroll through campus to Matthew Knight Arena for commencement ceremonies, and a short while later, emerge as graduates of the University of Oregon.

Many will continue their academic adventures in graduate school, while many others will move on to the first phase of their professional careers. Wherever they go, we wish them well.

UO law student named president of national association

Some nervousness, honor and humility is what UO law student Sigvanna Topkok felt once she was elected the new president of the National Native American Law Students Association on April 7.

Topkok’s excited to give back to an organization that’s already given her so much.

While studying linguistics and Native American studies at Dartmouth College, Topkok was funded by the college to travel to Nome, Alaska, to work for Kawerak Inc., an organization dedicated to bettering the lives of Alaska Natives.
