Student Life Care and Basic Needs Coordinator

With a passion for academia and a heart for helping, I have found my calling in ensuring that students not only thrive academically, but also have their basic needs met. Whether it's matching you with basic needs and care resources or lending a listening ear or reassuring smile, I am here to make sure that no student navigates their educational journey alone. If you see me around, please say hello and feel free to stop by my office any time.

Emily Fischer

Student Life Engagement Coordinator

I work on all things student engagement - coordinating events, managing Orientation, supporting student groups, partnering with community organizations, and more! The goal of my work is to cultivate a positive campus culture and develop resources and engagement opportunities that meet the needs of our diverse and growing student body. You may see me running across campus to set up for an event, taking pictures to post on our Student Life Instagram (@uopdxstudentlife), or working in our Student Life Suite - no matter where you see me, be sure to say hi!

Elizabeth Gillingham

Career Advancement Coordinator

I’m here to support UO Portland students in their career journeys. I’d love to talk to you about how you might tell the stories of your experiences, take steps toward setting and achieving development goals, and start matching your skills and passions to opportunities in the “professional” world. I am committed to continuing to learn, to educating employers about the needs and realities of our students, and continuing to interrogate the norms of professionalism. Hope to get to know you throughout your time at UO!
