I m doing school part-time and I have a one-year-old son now! His name is Ander. He s just starting to learn how to walk. He s crawling up on things. It s very fun, Eaton told us this week.
It all fell into place for him after speaking at an Olympic Day event at Intel in the Bay Area. Eaton was living there with his wife Brianne Theisen-Eaton, a 2016 Olympic Games bronze medalist and fellow Oregon alum. He was later hired by Intel in 2020.

Student to student: How professors are stepping up
The challenge of adjusting to virtual learning has been difficult at times for students, but it has also had a significant effect on professors.
With fewer in-person lectures, they’ve had to find new ways of teaching and also have had to gain a new sense of understanding for their students.
I asked graduating seniors how they felt about their classes and if they had any professors that have really stepped up for them during the chaos of this school year.
A professor of mine who’s been very accommodating and empathetic this semester is Karyn Riddle, who teaches my Journalism 565: Effects of Mass Communication class.
