Hesser Memorial Scholarship  

Applications for the Myrtle Hesser Memorial Scholarship are now available!  

Those who knew Myrtle Hesser, a food service worker and supervisor in the UO dorms from 1957 to 1972, discovered a warm and friendly person with a wry sense of humor and a soft spot for the students she fed. While Hesser had little formal education herself, she was smart and well read and chose to leave her entire estate to the University of Oregon for student scholarships.

Q: Is the Accessible Education Center open?

This includes all accommodated final exams that had been scheduled in Peterson Hall, the AEC, and the University Testing Center from 3/16/20 - 3/20/20.
