– Decision Day Extended –
The enrollment confirmation for first-year students admitted for fall 2024 is extended to June 1. Due to June 1 being a Saturday, the Office of Admissions will assist anyone experiencing technical difficulties or needing other assistance on Monday, June 3. Rest assured that this will not affect your ability to commit to the UO.

What is your background and areas of interest?
I am German by birth and speak German, English, Spanish, French, and am beginning my Italian language learning journey. Speaking of languages: I am the language coordinator for the Department of German and Scandinavian where I train the GEs in language teaching. I also am the director of undergraduate studies in the department and I direct the Global Engagement Academic Residential Community in Global Scholars Hall, where I was faculty in residence from 2018 to 2023.
What brought you to the University of Oregon?
Love, literally. I met my husband in Germany (thirty years ago) and decided to relocate to Oregon where he was from.
How did you get involved with your field?
I love languages and language study. I have been involved in undergraduate residential education for almost 30 years. Of course, there is a philosophical dimension to how I came to study and teach languages and literature, but come to my office hours, we’ll have a cup of coffee or tea and I can tell you more about my journey and how it might relate (or not) to yours!
What is the best advice you have for a college student?
Stay calm and travel on . . . our world is crazy. But things happen and everything will work out. Hurdles are only there to be overcome and I will help you with that.
