Hello.

The Board of Trustees would like to announce that an at-large position on the Board will become vacant effective July 1, 2020. Trustee Connie Ballmer, who has been on the board since its formation in 2013, will resign on June 30. We sincerely thank Trustee Ballmer for her extraordinary work over these last several years, and for her ongoing commitment to the UO community. This information will also be shared on Around the O.

The vacancy for Trustee Ballmer’s at-large seat will be filled by the governor for the remainder of the position’s term, which runs through June 30, 2023.
