The human experience: Our passion in the College of Liberal Arts lies at the intersection of art and science, science and public policy, and humanities and technology. The work our students and faculty do impacts people directly, whether it’s confronting food insecurity, understanding at-risk youth, helping our society become more empathetic, or giving a voice to others through art. When they graduate, our students have the skills it takes to create healthy communities in Oregon and beyond.
