The Weekly Vol. 7 #12



Dean's Message

Dear COE Community,

This will be my last weekly for 2025, with updates beginning again in 2026. As we near the end of 2025, I want to thank each of you for the dedication and passion you bring to your work. Your contributions enable the College of Education to be a leader in academic, clinical, and scientific discovery. I hope you have a smooth end of the term and a restful winter break. I am excited about the great things we will accomplish together in 2026!

In gratitude,

Emily

Reminders

UO Quiet Period: December 25-January 1

University leadership encourages all units to observe the quiet period whenever possible. While the university will remain open, we ask that operations during this time be limited to essential activities. We encourage everyone to pause non-urgent emails and messages during the quiet period. This helps those taking leave to more fully rest and recharge and gives those who continue working a chance to focus without the usual flurry of tasks, emails, Teams chats, and phone calls.
