Department Summary (revised)
The Division of Global Engagement (DGE) works to make the University of Oregon a more global university. In 21st-century higher education, international engagement is not an optional extra: as noted in UO's Academic Plan, it is a core mission, essential to a thriving, socially salient, intellectually robust, academic community. It is part of the normal functioning of every school, college, department, and center. DGE works to support and integrate the wide range of international engagements, global-scale projects, and transnational partnerships launched and maintained in our many academic units. Units consist of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), Global Education Oregon (GEO), and Global Studies Institute (GSI).
Position Summary
The Public Information Assistant will work on projects that may include, but are not limited to: marketing and promotion of our global engagement programs (e.g. GEO Study Abroad, Global Works Internships, etc.); supporting the creation and dissemination of print, video, and digital content for our websites and/or social media channels; working with Global Engagement Program Coordinators to assist in the development and management of study abroad programs, including the organization and management of program data; communicating directly with domestic and international students who seek information about our global engagement programs; general projects that contribute to student mobility and cross-cultural engagement for UO students. Specific tasks will be assigned based on the needs of DGE and the interests and skill set of the individual. The Public Information Assistant will provide guidance and advising to exploring students. The Public Information Assistant will report directly to a member of our Global Education Oregon (GEO) team but will have the opportunity to work closely with other DGE staff members on various projects and events.
