When Ann Oluloro prepared to graduate from Madison High School in Portland, she chose the University of Oregon for its "location, the Honors College, and the university's strong reputation in scientific research." Oluloro is now a UO senior who interned with doctors in Bolivia and assists with faculty research. She has been accepted by OHSU's master's in public health program and plans to become a family practitioner or pediatrician.
