Danielle Chiacco ’05 shares her UO experience, successes and life after college in public policy and health and human rights in this Q & A session. Chiacco graduated Cum Laude from the University of Oregon in International Studies.
Michael Fancher ’68 to Write Journalist's Creed for the 21st Century
If anyone deserves a long, relaxing retirement, it's Mike Fancher ’68. Fancher worked for 40 years as a journalist and spent 20 years as the Executive Editor of The Seattle Times. Although Fancher technically retired in 2006, speaking with him, it is clear he is anything but retired. Fancher recently had the honor of being chosen to be 2008-09 Fellow at University of Missouri's Reynolds Journalism Institute and will spend the next year updating the Journalist's Creed , widely known as the code of ethics for the profession.
