I have committed to reducing the number of emails sent via the coe-staff listserv by sending out a weekly email “bundle,” that will include emails from around campus and the college. This weekly email will contain priorities, updates, reminders, notices of upcoming events and accolades. I hope that my Executive Assistant, Holly Christensen and I can save you some time sorting through emails to find the information most relevant to your work. We plan to deliver the Weekly every Wednesday. Of course, feedback is welcome: Education Dean educationdean@uoregon.edu.

These 45- to 90-minute presentations will cover a wide range of topics, from situational awareness to sustainability initiatives, research findings, and more. Whether in person on the Eugene campus or via Zoom, participants will gain insights into university resources, projects, and research while fostering collaboration across units and functions. Registration is open for spring sessions, and proposals for fall 2024 presentations are encouraged. Join the conversation and share your expertise at FYI Fridays!

The Office of Human Resources, in partnership with the University Career Center in the Division of Student Life, have launched LinkedIn Learning to expand professional development, training and learning opportunities for faculty members, staff and students. Since the University of Oregon is now a LinkedIn Learning campus, supervisors and employees can begin using UO’s LinkedIn Learning as time permits.
