The annual Holistic Options for Planet Earth Sustainability (HOPES) conference will feature a student-designed parklet in downtown Eugene.

Students photographed tree plantings, burn sites and attractive spots in Eugene as part of the class project.

The exhibit shows the history of vaqueros, or buckaroos, who came to Oregon beginning in the 1850s.

An A&AA graduate student will spend his summer internship in Thailand feeding and cleaning up after elephants — and he couldn’t be happier.

The dining areas will remain closed at least until September, but food carts will be placed along 13th Avenue to provide alternatives.
