BACKGROUND

The University of Oregon released a detailed plan on Dec. 1 for a Central Oregon campus that will break new ground in higher education. "Our vision is to build, in cooperation with Central Oregon Community College (COCC), an opportunity for a full college education in Central Oregon that matches the best of the small colleges and universities in the nation," said John Moseley, UO provost and vice president for academic affairs. Moseley oversaw the UO’s months-long planning effort to gauge and answer Central Oregon’s educational needs. The UO’s plan—bolstered by pledges of $2.65 million in private support to supplement state government funds—offers Central Oregon students a comprehensive university experience founded on a solid science, social science and humanities core and enhanced by key professional and graduate offerings. These educational offerings will be backed with the strengths of a major research university, but offered in an attractive small-college setting.

The UO’s fourth annual Bend Holiday Musicfest will offer invited guests a medley of popular holiday songs, followed by a sing-a-long.
