Back to
Campus
C
ampuses in Oregon and around the country are mourning
the news coming out of Umpqua Community College Oct.
1 after word of the mass shooting spread. The first week of
class is often a time of newness, learning and excitement.
This year, it has brought great sadness.
But it also brings a sense of unity. Football players from
longtime rivals Oregon State University and the University
of Oregon wore “UCC” decals on their helmets in a sign of solidarity. The
UO, OSU, Lane Community College and others all held vigils on their
respective campuses in remembrance of those lost, and #RoseburgStrong
was joined by #IamUCC to support a grieving community.
Many OSU and UO students really are UCC — the community college’s
graduates go on to earn their bachelor’s and graduate degrees from Oregon’s
state universities. When so much talk is made of rivalries and civil wars, it’s
heartening to see collaboration and unification in our places of learning.
This year’s Back to Campus issue features EW’s ever-entertaining
student Q&As, advice for Ducks new or old, a look at OSU’s seven hubs of
cultural learning and more. Remember, no matter what your school colors,
we’re all in this together.
