Knight Campus Inside Lunch

A monthly lunch for Knight Campus employees

Knight Campus Inside Lunches are held on the second Wednesday of the month. 

The goal of the Knight Campus Inside Lunch session is to learn more about what differentiates the Knight Campus’ mission and functions compared to more traditional academic organizations, including the UO, and help us foster a culture that supports the goals of the Knight Campus. Each session provides background information that is relevant to the vision, mission and guiding principles of the Knight Campus. We are creating a research, innovation, and education hub that attracts the best and brightest to the Knight Campus. Come join the conversation. All Knight Campus employees are welcome.
