All students are invited to the UO's annual InterMingle where students connect and reconnect with each other. This year's theme "Baby Got Quack" includes a So You Think You Can Dance competition, mechanical bull, rock wall, tie dye, pool, henna tattoos, a casino, karaoke, live music in the amphitheater, fire dancers, laser tag, video games, prizes, free food, and other giveaways. In the past, many fraternities and sororities have also had representatives available to answer students questions.

University Convocation @ McArthur Court: Sunday, September 28, 3:30 p.m.


Steven Pinker, a celebrated cognitive scientist, will be giving this year's convocation address (a speech to open the school year). Currently the Johnstone Family Professor in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, Pinker will take you on a journey into the human mind to understand what makes us tick. Doors open at 3:00 p.m. with a free meal to follow afterward on the lawn closest to Gerlinger Hall. The meal is usually OK...
