‘Disarmingly charming,’ Schill wins praise after first year

On the job barely a year, UO President Michael H. Schill already has built a foundation of support and a sense of excitement for the future, according to a profile story on The Oregonian news site.

The expansive article, by reporter Andrew Theen, looks back on Schill’s first year and the progress he has made putting the UO on a course toward stronger academics and better outcomes for students. Schill also is credited for a kind of self-deprecating charm that has brought “a visible and warm presence across campus and through the alumni community.”
