Fall term has commenced here at the University of Oregon, and the new academic year looks very different from those of years past. We hope this communication finds you and your families safe and well.

While our classes and programs have gone remote for the foreseeable future, the COVID-19 environment has spurred some valuable innovations from both students and faculty alike—read more about some of those below.

We are also excited to share that our innovation and entrepreneurship MBA specialization continues its rise in the global rankings and was recognized in Poets & Quants's rankings of top MBAs for entrepreneurship for 2021. The rankings placed the Oregon MBA program:

• #43 worldwide
• #36 in the United States
• #18 worldwide among public business schools
• #15 among U.S. public business schools

This external recognition is a testament to our dedicated faculty and students whose teaching, research, and activities continue to excel.

We look forward to building on our success and, this year more than ever, to embracing the entrepreneurial mantra that every challenge is an opportunity.
