<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear COE community,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">March 1<sup>st</sup> is a big day, and not just because the end of winter term is in view and we can almost reach out and touch spring break. It’s a big day because one year ago today, the University of Oregon announced a transformational
gift of $425 million from Connie and Steve Ballmer, to create the <a href="https://childrensbehavioralhealth.uoregon.edu/">
Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health</a>. Our College of Education leadership team, faculty, and staff have been busy partnering with the Psychology department and the newly formed Ballmer Institute to create a pathway to train a new profession
of child behavioral health specialists. For the past year we have come together to develop curriculum, form leadership committees, develop policies, and hire faculty. The announcement of the Ballmer Institute was the impetus for a leadership change in the
College of Education, as former dean Randy Kamphaus was appointed as acting executive director of the new institute and I stepped up to lead the College of Education in my role as interim dean. Today is my 1 year “dean-iversary”. It is an honor and privilege
that I appreciate every day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, March 1st, 2023, is another epic day. Earlier this morning, the University of Oregon and the University of Oregon Foundation announced an exciting new effort to drive UO innovation and accelerate the creation of startup companies
in Oregon and beyond. The UO and UO Foundation are forming a new partnership called
<a href="https://www.launchoregon.com/">Launch Oregon</a> that will connect UO innovators to funding, leadership, talent, and infrastructure.
<span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color:#333333">This is timely work for the College of Education given our strong record of innovation, commercialization, and entrepreneurial activity. For example, the College of Education has 43 commercial education products
on the market right now and we lead the university in licensing revenue. As an institution, UO ranks #1 in licensing per research dollar in the AAU. Research discovery and innovation is in our DNA. As this new non-profit entity is launched in partnership with
UO and the Foundation, I’m honored to be a part of the Launch Oregon board. I have no doubt that the research discovers and innovation that is critical to our research and outreach mission in the COE will benefit from Launch Oregon and our collective work
will have an accelerated impact on society.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color:#333333"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color:#333333">Thanks to each of you for being a community of committed change agents and difference makers – for our students, for each other, for our community partners, colleagues, and more.
