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.

Winter Social invite and more

You’re invited to the OA Winter Social hosted by the OA Council to celebrate the essential work you do every day.

Join us on Thursday, February 12 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Ford Alumni Center lobby to snack and connect with fellow OAs from across campus. This is a drop-in event—come for a few minutes or stay for the hour and a half.

The council hosts this event to say thank you, create space to socialize, and provide information and resources. No RSVP needed—just save the time and stop by if you’re able. We’d love to see you and celebrate you.

Employee Engagement 
The university will administer a confidential employee engagement survey, in partnership with Gallup, from February 23 to March 9, to better understand workplace experiences and support a flourishing campus community.

Results will be shared at the unit level and used to guide meaningful action, supported by an Engagement Champions Network and a campuswide commitment to follow-through beyond the survey. Learn more about employee engagement on the HR website.

Best,
Officers of Administration Council
