The Officers of Administration Council is now accepting nominations for OA Star Award honorees!
Each year, the OA Council selects and recognizes officers of administration who have made an exceptional, positive impact on the university. Honorees will be recognized at OA Council’s Fall listening session and given seats to a home football game at Autzen Stadium this fall from a place of honor in the President’s suite.
Officers of administration selected to receive an OA Star Award distinguish themselves by applying their professional efforts for the betterment of the entire institution and the university community. They not only excel in their positions and departments, but they also embody a spirit of collegiality and vision, working with peers and partners across departmental and divisional lines. They strive for continuous improvement and look to build relationships and solutions that improve the university for all stakeholders.
To make a nomination, individuals can submit the names of up to three UO officers of administration along with a short paragraph that includes one or more of the following criteria: excellence in performance, personal interaction, initiative and creativity, and commitment to fostering a more inclusive campus community. Please include specific examples to the best of your ability.
Nominations are due by 5:00 PM on Friday, June 13, 2025.
