Hello! As you can see, my name is Sam. I was a student in Planning for the Planet last year and I loved it so much that I decided to come back as a FIG assistant. I am a second-year student double majoring in Planning Public Policy and Management as well as Environmental Studies. I was born and raised in Portland, OR and can safely say that Oregon is the greatest place in the world.

I really like dancing, movies, politics, math, biking, rock climbing, climbing trees, climbing fences, drinking water, video games, board games, pickleball, drawing, and camels. (Not a comprehensive list).

Whether you are coming to UO from in state, out of state, or the other side of the world, our classroom is going to be a great place to meet new people, have fun, and explore new ideas. If you have any questions about Planning for the Planet, the university, or if you just want to say hello, feel free to shoot me an email.
