Take Back the Night rally and march starts on campus April 30

The UO’s EMU amphitheater will once again serve as the launching point for the 37th annual Take Back the Night protest march, an annual international event that draws attention to the realities of sexual violence.

The rally begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 30, and marchers will leave the amphitheater at 7 p.m. They will then march to downtown Eugene, gathering at the Atrium Building at the corner of 10th Avenue and Olive Street for a speak-out featuring survivors of sexual assault.

Students and faculty to sign off on final, highest EMU beam

Just as Ducks were able to spray paint, graffiti and take sledge hammers to the old Erb Memorial Union before it was demolished, students and faculty will have the opportunity to leave their lasting mark on the new EMU.

Tuesday, April 28, marks a significant milestone for the EMU renovation and expansion project. The final — and highest — beam of the new EMU will be set in place, effectively “topping out” the upward construction process.
