Careers at Eastern Oregon University

Great people are what make a great university! Eastern's employees are a dedicated group of professionals who place the students’ success as their number one priority. Our campus atmosphere is stimulating and supportive and is a place where both personal and professional growth are encouraged and recognized.

"After working 12 years at the University of Oregon, it is nice to be here at Eastern working on a campus that feels like home. I grew up in La Grande and left at 19 to see what else was out there. After spending my 20’s and 30’s working in southern California and Eugene, I always kept an eye out to see if there was a chance that I could find a job back here again. Working here is a nice change from the hectic pace of a big city and its nice to work with people that smile or wave and are willing to lend a hand to anyone that needs it."

Eastern Oregon University is located in La Grande, Oregon and serves as a regional center for education, culture and scholarship. Close to 25,000 people call Union County home and approximately 12,850 people live in the city. The community is a jumping-off point for many outdoor activities including skiing and hiking in the nearby Elkhorn Mountains, mountain biking along the Oregon Trail and fishing for trout and steelhead on the Wallowa River.

EOU plays a vital role providing greater access to higher education in rural areas of the state. The small size of the campus and supportive learning community enhance the quality instruction and personal attention students receive. Classes are available on campus, online and onsite at several extended campus locations in Oregon. Nine complete degrees and 18 different minors are available entirely online. By participating in undergraduate research, internships, cooperative opportunities, international experiences and community service, graduates are well prepared to succeed in today’s global environment.
