Applying Knowledge
Students in the College of Arts and Sciences reach beyond the confines of the classroom to explore the world - to mine and discover those truths hinted at in textbooks. They do this in many ways:
- Joining UP's nationally-recognized Mock Trial Team
- Volunteering at a downtown soup kitchen for the homeless
- Working with a professor on a project studying the history and culture of a county in Eastern Oregon
- Presenting a paper at the Northwest Undergraduate Conference in Literature (NUCL)
- Participating in UP's local chapter of the Roosevelt Institute, a national student think tank for political 'junkies'
- Debating with the University's award-winning debate team
- Joining the English Society and with faculty and fellow students exploring the joys of literature and art through films, plays, novels, and lectures
- Joining the Philosophy Club or the Social Work Club
- Participating in a dramatic production, singing with the University Singers or the Choral Union, or playing with the Concert Band or the Jazz Ensemble
- Participating in summer internships of all kinds
- Studying for a time in Austria or England or Spain or Australia or a dozen other countries
