Hey y’all! I am Lillie and I will be the FIG Assistant for “Hidden History.” This will be my second year as an FA, and third year in this FIG. This is such an interesting FIG, diving into history creatively with the best professors and opportunities!  

I am a junior from Bend, Oregon majoring in Political Science and minoring in Ethnic Studies. I love getting outside, hiking the Willamette or any of the great trails near campus!  

The FIG Program has continued to be one of my favorite ways to get involved with my community, and meet amazing people on campus. The U of O has a diverse range of great opportunities to help get everyone involved in something they like.  

I am excited to start working with you your first year at the U of O! If you registered for “Hidden History” please send me an email your name and a bit about yourself before fall so I can get to know you. See you in the fall!
