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
