Re-Orientation for Returning Students
Welcome back to UO Portland! We know you've been here before, but there are so many new things to see this year on campus. Our Re-Orientation programming offers events and activities to help returning students get acquainted with our newly renovated and expanded Northeast Portland campus.
Campus Tours
Returning students have the opportunity to tour our freshly renovated campus before your first class of the term. Our tour guides will show you around the buildings, describe expanded campus resources, and outline upcoming events for community engagement and professional development. And they'll make sure you know all the best study spots, coffee shops, and local restaurants so you can get the most out of your campus experience!
Sign up for a returning student campus tour here.
Interested in volunteering as a campus tour guide? Reach out to our Student Life Engagement Coordinator, Emily Fischer, at efische3@uoregon.edu to request more information.
Community and Engagement Events
You can reconnect with your classmates (and maybe even meet some new friends) the moment you step foot on campus! During your first week of classes, attend a variety of events designed to cultivate community and foster student engagement. From picnicking on the campus green to winning prizes to meeting likeminded students, there's something fun for everyone! See the full calendar of events here, or at the bottom of this webpage.
Catch up with Student Life
Our Student Life staff would love to connect with you! We can support you in accessing basic needs resources, help you set academic and career goals, and identify ways for you to get involved on campus and in the local community. For general inquiries, reach out to us at studentlifepdx@uoregon.edu, or learn more about our individual staff members here.
Follow our Instagram @uopdxstudentlife to be the first to know about free subsidies, food on campus, events, and important campus updates.
Don't forget to read the weekly Quick Quack to stay in-the-know with what's happening around campus and beyond! The Quick Quack is also where we post internship and job opportunities, campus-wide events, student group info, and student highlights. Email your Quick Quack submissions to studentlifepdx@uoregon.edu. Submit a student highlight here.
