coe-staff: The Weekly Vol. 5 #27

[Laura Lee McIntyre]

Dear COE Community,



Spring is in the air as we cruise through Week 4 of the term! Our faculty and students are deep into spring quarter and our staff are busy supporting programs, units, and activities of our college. On Friday our COE Development Team meets with our COE Advisory Council up in Portland to discuss our College, state and national impact, our academic and fundraising priorities, and leveraging our community partnerships to enhance the work of our College of Education. We’re meeting at the new NE Portland Campus and will hear from faculty and students in our new School Psychology PDX cohort. We’ll have a chance to tour the facilities of the new campus and will have a special session with VP for Advancement, Joe Buck<https://president.uoregon.edu/joe-buck-join-uo-vice-president-advancement>, and VP for UO Portland<https://pdx.uoregon.edu/>, Jane Gordon<https://president.uoregon.edu/executive-leadership>. and will get a tour of facilities of the UO’s new Northeast Portland campus. I look forward to sharing our accomplishments, priorities and needs to continue to support excellent education, scholarship, and support for our COE students, faculty, staff. It is through key community partnerships that we can continue to make positive impacts in our work. Thanks to each of you for being a part of COE mission.



Warmly,

Laura Lee
