OA Council Mission

The Officers of Administration Council (OA Council or OAC) is committed to advocating for the needs of our constituents. The OA Council is an elected body that represents the UO’s diverse group of professionals to promote and facilitate communication, identify and address pertinent issues, share information, enhance professional identity, and create opportunities for collegiality. The OA Council is structurally situated as an Administrative Committee of the Office of the President.

We encourage you to read the 2025-2026 Goals for OAs. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments about the goals or other matters, please do not hesitate to reach out to the OA Council.

A Moment of Gratitude and Opportunities Ahead 

 As we wrap up the calendar year, we want to say thank you. This Fall term has been especially demanding and challenging for many of us. We are grateful for the care, professionalism, and teamwork that officers of administration bring to our campus every day. Looking ahead: 

Leadership Academy 
Submit your 2026–27 UO Leadership Academy application by Jan. 23. The Academy meets monthly for full-day sessions focused on building leadership skills, strengthening your UO network, and learning strategies to better lead yourself, your team, and the university. 

2026 Winter Social
Join us on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 3 p.m. in the Ford Alumni Center lobby to warm up, snack, and casually connect with colleagues across campus. Save the date and look for our official invite next month. 

2026 Spring Symposium
Join OA colleagues to focus on professional development, networking, and flourishing in April for our Spring Symposium. More details to come next term. 

We sincerely hope you’re able to take advantage of UO’s quiet period and make time to reset and reflect. Rest isn’t a reward; it’s part of doing good work in the long-term. If you have thoughts, questions, or feedback for the Council about our 2025-26 goals for OAs or other matters, please email us at oa@uoregon.edu.

Happy holidays and go Ducks!

Best,
Officers of Administration Council
