Description

Ballmer Institute Executive Director Katie McLaughlin addresses graduates at the new program's first graduation ceremony this spring. The institute just received a $125 million gift from Connie and Steve Ballmer to expand its work to other states.

Four years ago, with $425 million in seed money from the former CEO of Microsoft and his wife, the University of Oregon set out to build an entirely new pathway into the youth behavioral health workforce, training bachelor’s degree recipients to work in schools, clinics and nonprofits.
