Affirming Support of International Scholars

At the Lundquist College of Business we are proud members of the global business community, and we echo UO President Michael Schill's message following concerns expressed by faculty, students, and staff about the U.S. administration's new executive orders regarding foreign nationals residing in the United States.

International collaboration and scholarship are key to making the world better through business, and we pledge to support our students, faculty, and staff regardless of country of origin or religious background. We aim to build bridges and create paths to success, not block them.
