Let's Talk Drop-In - Fridays 1-3PM @ CMAE/Zoom
April 12–June 14
1:00–3:00 p.m.

Meet with Counseling Services Gonzalo Camp, who specializes in working with LatinX and undocumented students, at the Center for Multicultural Academic Excellence (Oregon Hall-Room 130) or click here: https://zoom.us/j/92243720320

Let’s Talk is a service that provides easy access to free, informal, and confidential one-on-one consultation with a Counseling Services staff member. See our website for six additional Let’s Talk days/times offered throughout the week.

Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who:

Have a specific concern and would like to consult with someone about it. Would like on-the-spot consultation rather than ongoing counseling. Would like to consult with a CS staff member about what actual therapy looks like. Would like to meet with one of our CS identity-based specialists. Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like some ideas about what to do.

How does Let’s Talk work?

Let’s Talk will be offered via Zoom and/or in satellite locations across campus. As a drop-in service, there is no need to schedule an appointment and no paperwork to be completed. Students are seen individually on a first-come, first-served basis at the times listed below. There may be a wait in the Zoom waiting room if the Let’s Talk staff member is meeting with another student. Please wait and we will be with you as soon as we can. Let’s Talk appointments are brief (usually between 15-30 minutes) and are meant to be used on an as-needed basis.

Non-traditional Career Paths for Social Science and Humanities PhDs
May 17
3:00–4:50 p.m.
Lillis Business Complex 111

Join us for a panel and conversation with four social science/humanities PhDs who have experience working in non-traditional and/or non-academic jobs post-graduation. We will discuss the variety of careers PhD students might pursue outside of tenure-track academic jobs, how to translate the skills developed in graduate school to jobs outside of academia, and the pros and cons of academic versus non-academic jobs. The event is open to graduate students in the social sciences or humanities, and attendees are encouraged to come with questions.

Our panelists bring diverse backgrounds and expertise to the discussion. Nick Galasso, Head of Research at Oxfam, offers insights from over two decades of promoting social justice in international development. Deana Dartt, the founding Director of Live Oak Consulting, combines her indigenous heritage as a Coastal Chumash and Mestiza with curatorial roles at prestigious institutions and various teaching appointments. Sophia Ford, a recent graduating PhD candidate in Environmental Studies and Geography, initially searched for nonprofit jobs and secured a post-doc with the National Park Service's Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship. Lastly, Alex Farrington, who is currently a research associate and part-time lecturer at Portland State University, transitioned from a Hatfield Public Service fellow and community outreach coordinator position for a nonprofit. Alex is able to speak to the experience of moving between policy-oriented/nonprofit and academic jobs.

Together, they will explore the diverse career opportunities available to graduate students in the social sciences and humanities, providing guidance on translating academic skills into real-world contexts and offering insight into academic versus non-academic paths.

Cinema Studies invites the UO community to a “meet and mingle” with Marmoset Music’s Bob Werner.  Join us for cookies, beverages and a casual get together. Free and open to the UO community.

Marmoset is a full-service music agency for brands, filmmakers and creatives that specializes in curated music for licensing, award-winning music production, music supervision, clearances, customizations, sound design and more.  

Bob Werner (he/him) is the Head of Creative Services at Marmoset, where he leads all aspects of curating and creating music for Marmoset’s vast catalog, as well as custom scoring and sound design projects for global clients in advertising, film, TV and more. Before joining Marmoset to shape one of the top performing sync catalogs in the industry, Bob studied video and sound production at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, pursuing his lifelong passion in music and cinema. Fun fact: Bob's favorite thing about living in Portland is the vibrant indie cinema scene, where he saw 50 films in theaters in 2023 and aims to see 100 this year.  Through his 10+ years working in sync licensing, he’s developed and helped launch dozens of artists into successful, full-time music careers, with licensing revenue as a cornerstone of their income, ultimately supporting lifelong pursuits in music. Bob is based in Portland, Oregon.

This event is part of the 2024 Art of Producing Visiting Filmmaker Series, featuring screenings, talks, and receptions with award-winning producers and filmmakers. All events are free and open to the UO community.
