"Our alumni and faculty had talked for some time about how best to honor the remarkable accomplishments and contributions of our alumni in so many different fields," explained Tim Gleason, UO Journalism and Communication dean. "By displaying the members of the Hall of Achievement in an academic room, they will serve as a daily reminder and inspiration to our current students of their own potential."
