The Officers of Administration Council and Human Resources are offering an opportunity for OAs to enhance their leadership and management skills, to identify solutions for issues impacting higher education, and to share their expertise with their colleagues.

In response to your feedback in the Workplace Climate Survey, sessions will be geared towards managing change.

Provost Banavar will provide opening remarks, followed by our keynote presenter, Matt Coleman, DEd, Executive Director of inflexion and UO Alumni.  He will be speaking on leading and building trust in times of change.

Erik Girvan, a UO associate law professor, will talk about implicit bias at the next Officers of Administration Council meeting from 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, March 13. The meeting will be in the Redwood Auditorium in the Erb Memorial Union and streamed to UO Portland in Room 150 of the White Stag Block.

Girvan’s research investigates how stereotypes, attitudes and other biases might affect decisions in the legal system and related contexts, such as school discipline decisions. He empirically tests practical ways to reduce or eliminate implicit biases by working with a diverse variety of legal and other professionals.
