Welcome to the Weaving New Beginnings 2020 blog site! The Weaving New Beginnings Working Group has been hard at work to create this year’s virtual experience! While we’d prefer to host this event face-to-face, with the realities of COVID-19 that is not possible. But, we felt like this event was important now more than ever given COVID and the current and continued marches against the brutality against Black people in the United States. It’s our hope that this event will give us all the needed touch point of community, connection, and sense of welcome that all students, faculty, and staff of color deserve when attending and working at the University of Oregon.
