As a student, you may be asked: What is your plan after graduation? What will you do with your degree? Do you have a job lined up? Regardless of the answers you may have for these questions, their underlying assumption is the idea of permanence.

While it is common for people to choose a career that aligns with the major that they chose, it is less common nowadays for people to stay with the same plan or job for their entire career.

During this event hosted in partnership by the UO American Marketing Association and the Student Alumni Assocation, we invite you to network with UO alumni who will share their journeys post-graduation to illustrate how to:

• Take core competencies/skills from your degree and apply them to various jobs;
• Influence your job path based on your core values;
• Navigate conversations about career changes with loved ones;
• Face uncertainty and create a more meaningful future;
• Redirect your career path when something unexpected happens.

Heavy appetizers will be provided.

Don't miss the opportunity to receive up to $10,000 to turn ideas into real-world impact.

The Oregon Innovation Challenge (OIC) is a program for University of Oregon students and faculty of all backgrounds to build projects with support from mentors and peers.

This is more of a community than a competition. Everyone involved understands how hard it is to start something and wants to see others succeed. No matter age or experience level, OIC is designed to help participants take their next step. Many participants are doing this for the first time.

• As many strong projects as possible will be funded. Currently, there is ~$130,000 available, with ongoing efforts to raise more.
• Participants work on what matters to them. Mentors provide feedback and guidance, but all project decisions remain with the team.
• All stages are welcome—from early ideas to active ventures.
• Projects can be solo or team-based, and teams can form during the program.
• The time commitment is manageable, and participation is flexible. This is not a class—there are no grades, and anyone can step away at any time with no penalty.

Applications take about two minutes to complete and close Friday, January 23 at 11:59 p.m. Submissions can be an existing project, a brand-new idea, or even just a problem worth solving. A polished plan is not required, and funding decisions are not based on the initial submission.

Submit your application online and get started!

Then, join us for our kickoff event the the following Sunday, January 25 at 11:00 a.m.

Want to use Python to analyze data? This UO Libraries workshop series on Pandas is designed to follow our Introduction to Python workshop series or a comparable introductory Python course like CS 122.

Topics include:

•  Reading data into Python from multiple input formats
• Data cleaning and standardization
• DataFrame selection and manipulation
• Aggregating and transforming data
• Data visualization

Before this workshop, you should be familiar with variables, data types, functions, and data structures in Python. As a refresher, we recommend reviewing our version of the Software Carpentries Python curriculum.

Whether you join in-person or remotely, please come with a Python environment with the Pandas and JupyterLab packages installed. If you would like assistance configuring Python, please arrive 15 minutes early for the workshop or schedule a consultation.
