The 48,000-square foot Student Health Center and Counseling Center expansion is slated to begin this fall. The University has allocated
$10 million for the project.
Health center: Changes to improve access
Continued from page 1
Ryan said the center wants to pro
mote health and wellness, so the
Health Education Program will be
moving out of the basement and
into a position near the front en
trance, making free medical advice
more accessible.
Another expansion will double the
size of the travel medicine clinic to ac
commodate a growing demand for im
munizations and medications as more
students become involved in interna
tional studies and travel abroad.
Staff members whose offices are in
the basement are optimistic about the
upcoming changes.
“We’re excited to have windows,”
Director of Health Education Paula
Staight said.
Sports Medicine and Physical
Therapy Manager Tim McDonald
said that in addition to windows,
he’s looking forward to having more
room and being able to interact with
other staff members.
The health center will also transfer
its paper medical records to an elec
tronic system that will allow doctors
to gain quick access from their of
fices. In addition, film X-rays will
switch to charged plates, which can
HEALTH CENTER TIMELINE
1918: The first dispensary and infirmary, located in a portion of the men’s residence hall in Friendly
Hall, were organized to provide students and faculty with health and sanitation. In the years that fol
lowed, the infirmary was located in a variety of buildings, usually former residence halls.
Late 1920s: A group called the Oregon Mothers worked to raise money to build a new Student
Health Service, but funds were limited because of the Great Depression and other building drives.
1936: A grant from the federal government made a new health center building possible, and the
money raised by the Oregon Mothers was used to buy equipment. This new building, currently the
Volcanology Building, housed the dispensary and a 26-bed infirmary.
1965: The building that currently houses the health center on the corner of Agate Street and East
13th Avenue was opened. The second story served as a 40-bed infirmary with an isolation wing
and kitchen facility. The outpatient clinic on the main floor had a laboratory, X-ray department,
pharmacy, nurse treatment area and two large areas to accommodate the 10 physicians on staff.
1981: The in-patient unit was closed as the need for infirmary beds lessened.
1982: The health center became one of the select few in the country to be nationally accredited.
1987: The dental clinic was added and sports medicine and physical therapy staff and services
were significantly expanded.
1988: The first full-time educator was hired to formalize an approach to health education.
1990s: All health programs went through expansion and/or technological updating.
1997: The Student Building Fee Committee, composed of University students, awarded the health
center $10 million for renovation and expansion.
1999: The University approved the expansion and the center developed a satellite clinic.
2002: The programming phase for expansion and renovation began.
2005: The health center will break ground for expansion in the fall.

Race: Conversations can yield positive effects
Continued from page 1
“Beliefs about what defines race are,
to some extent, malleable,” Tate said.
The focus groups also made rec
ommendations for administrators,
faculty, staff and students to improve
the climate for diversity on campus.
Recommendations included better
publicizing of information about
clubs, activities and teacher perform
ance, making changes in class in
struction and curriculum, and re
cruiting more diverse people to all
areas of the University.
Tate said there were several weak
nesses to the study, including that stu
dents were self-selected and the re
spondents were not representative of
the ethnic makeup of the University.
In addition, student perceptions of
race and ethnicity clearly changed over
the course of the study, but whether
the study will have any lasting effects
is unknown, Tate said.
Nevertheless, the fact that percep
tions did change was evidence that
“just having conversations about these
concepts can really, actually, have
some good effects,” Tate added.
About 70 people, including Vice
Provost for Institutional Equity and Di
versity Greg Vincent, were present for
the hour-long presentation. Nearly 40
remained for break-out discussion
groups afterward, in which they dis
cussed the study’s findings and stu
dent recommendations.
