VIA Offers short-term Global Community Fellowships consisting of 6-8 week placements for current degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate students. Fellows work at NGOs, schools, universities, and social enterprises across Asia to support community development, capacity-building, and education. By working directly with communities, fellows get hands-on experience learning how organizations in Asia are using creative and innovative methods to address critical social challenges.

Fellows engage in a wide range of activities and tasks with our local partners. Each post has a unique mix of responsibilities, which generally fall into the following categories:

•  Education — Fellows advance student development in critical thinking and cross-cultural communication to access future education and professional opportunities.
•  Training and capacity-building — Fellows develop training resources and curricula for partners to enhance their organizational operations and optimize for impact. You may help with needfinding, research, training program or workshop design, facilitation, and assessment for partner staff and/or the communities they serve.
•  Community development — Fellows support community development and international communication efforts by facilitating access resources, networks, and collaboration opportunities. You may help with fundraising, project management, and community outreach efforts of our local partners.

Real employers. Real conversations. Right here on campus.

A practice interview helps you prepare for real-life interviews, which increases your chances of getting additional interviews and acquiring the job. It is also a great way to meet and network with professionals, which can lead to opportunities in the future. Anyone can participate in a practice interview and it’s fun to practice with people in different industries to see different styles of interviewing you might encounter in real life.

The UO Practice Interview Day is designed to help you acquire professional interview skills, get feedback from experienced professionals, and gain confidence. You will not be interviewing for a specific job at the company our volunteer works for. You will instead be practicing commonly asked interview questions and getting active feedback on your communication style, professionalism, and more.

Each practice interview will last ~30 minutes and you will get instant feedback from one of our professional interviewers.

Register in Handshake ahead of time to get tips and early access to the practice interview questions! Interviews are on a first-come, first-serve basis with multiple slots each half-hour. Set aside at least 30 minutes to participate. Drop-in and grab the next open time slot! *BRING RESUMES*

Contact Tina Haynes thaynes@uoregon.edu at the University Career Center for any questions you have or accommodation requests.

As year 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Japan. Please join us for a film screening and roundtable discussion examining the global history and enduring legacy of atomic warfare and Cold War era nuclear weapons testing.

The film, Silent War: The Shadow of Atomic Bombs, is based on Dr. Jacob’s book, Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha (Yale, 2022). Following the screening, Dr. Jacobs will be joined by experts to discuss the film, his research, and the far-reaching effects of atomic bombs and nuclear testing on the global population.

The documentary examines the securitization of Vietnamese politics and the rise of Police General To Lam as leader of the Vietnamese Communist Party. Following the screening, a panel discussion will feature producer Laura Brickman, Professor Tuong Vu, and Nguyen Duc Thnh, a graduate student in political science from Vietnam. 

Laura Brickman, award-winning journalist with video and print work for South China Morning Post, 60 Second Docs, Insider, BBC, The Kyiv Post and other outlets, is the producer of the recently released documentary The General: Vietnam in The Age of To Lam to be shown in class.

This event, held as part of the University of Oregon course Political Science 345: Politics of Southeast Asia, is open to the general public. For questions or additional information, please contact Professor Vu at thvu@uoregon.edu. 

Join us for a film screening and Q&A with director Jeff Gipe. Half-Life of Memory: America's Forgotten Atomic Bomb Factory exposes the dangerous legacy of Rocky Flats, the central nuclear bomb production facility in the United States from 1952 until 1989, located near Denver, Colorado. The most notorious instances of contamination, neglect, and cover-ups occurred at the Rocky Flats--radioactive and hazardous waste was illegally dumped, released in deadly fires at the site, and contaminated the Denver metro area with long-lived radioactive toxins. Through powerful testimonials and extraordinary archival media, Half-Life of Memory reveals Rocky Flats' dark past and prompts critical reflection on the implications of the nation's renewed nuclear weapons buildup
