coe-staff: The Weekly Vol. 4 #17

Wed May 10 23:03:27 PDT 2023

Dear COE community,

I want to express my sincere appreciation to all of you who attended the "Welcome Dean McIntyre Ice Cream Social" this afternoon. What a treat...literally...to eat ice cream and socialize with our COE students, faculty, and staff. Special thanks to Dianna Carrizales-Engelmann for conceptualizing the event and to Lisa Fortin for making it all happen. I appreciated taking a brief moment of pause from our "business as usual" mentality to honor and recognize the leadership transition in our college. Thank you for being a part of our next chapter.

Earlier today I had a chance to meet with our Dean's Student Advisory Board. This is a group of students - undergrad and grad - who represent all of our programs in the COE. This student group provides the dean's office with important input and ideas from the student perspective. Several students discussed the effect of the recent evacuations/lockdowns/bomb threats in our area schools and noted that even false alarms can be triggering. It's an important reminder to reach out and check-in with students, teachers, and staff, who may be impacted by these events. Ultimately it's our shared responsibility to create an environment that is caring and supportive. Resources for students can be found here: Welcome | One Stop Student Resources (uoregon.edu)<https://onestop.uoregon.edu/>

Thanks to each of you for the difference you make in our College of Education community.

Warmly,
Laura Lee

Accolades:

  *   Leslie Leve is featured in this Around the O story<https://around.uoregon.edu/content/adopted-childrens-genetic-makeup-affects-how-they-are-parented?utm_source=ato05-10-23> about the findings of an ongoing longitudinal Early Growth and Development Study on how adopted children's genetic characteristics can influence the parenting they receive. Supported by grants from multiple divisions of the National Institutes of Health, the Early Growth and Development Study has involved the cooperation of 45 adoption agencies in 15 states. The study is ongoing and has analyzed data from interviews, surveys and direct observation of 561 children adopted shortly after birth, along with their birth and adoptive parents. The study moves researchers one step closer to allowing clinicians to use more detailed family-based interventions to better serve all children.

  *   Congratulations to Prevention Science PhD student, Lauren Berny, who was awarded the Betty Foster McCue Graduate Scholarship, which supports doctoral students conducting research in the areas of human development and performance. Lauren was selected to receive this award for her ongoing contributions to the field of human development and planned dissertation research (chaired by Emily Tanner-Smith) on the long-term effects of recovery high school attendance on substance use disorder recovery outcomes and the mechanisms underlying them.

  *   Congratulations to Nicole Guiliani, who was selected as the 2023 Graduate Education Excellence Award for Outstanding Mentorship in Graduate Studies by the UO Graduate Division.
