Hi! I’m Jackson Klingelhofer, my pronouns are he/him and I am your FIG assistant for Food and the Garden! I can’t wait to meet everyone and welcome you all to UO. This is my first year as a FIG assistant. I was in a FIG last year, and it was a formative experience for me. I made some of my best friends in my FIG, and a lot of that was due to the community that my FIG assistant brought to the group. I hope to bring that same community to our group so that you all have an amazing first quarter! I am a second-year landscape architecture major and I am picking up a sustainable business minor this year. In my free time, I love to run, go backpacking and on hikes, going on drives and listening to music with friends, and drawing! When I am not in Eugene, I am either visiting home (Columbus Ohio), or visiting national parks! I love exploring Eugene as well, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! I can’t wait to meet everyone in the fall and learn all about you guys! Feel free to reach out to me whenever!
