Colleagues:
I’m inviting you to a live Zoom webinar hosted by the Office of the Dean of Students for University of Oregon faculty and staff focused on helping students understand their rights and how to participate in free expression and activism in ways that support their safety and well-being.

This session is designed to give faculty and staff a shared, practical foundation so we can respond consistently, answer common questions, and help students make informed choices when they are engaging in free expression and advocacy. We will have representatives from the Dean of Students Office, Office of the General Counsel, and UOPD to share and answer questions.

Event Details:

Friday, March 6, 2026
4:00–5:00 p.m. Pacific
Zoom (link emailed after registration)

What we’ll cover during the webinar:

  *   A clear overview of student free expression and activism on campus: what students should know

  *   Common questions students ask and simple ways faculty and staff can respond supportively

  *   Practical guidance you can share with students on how to plan for safety and well-being while engaging in expression (before, during, and after an event)

  *   How to help students understand expectations for campus spaces and community impacts

  *   Campus resources and points of contact when students need support or have concerns

  *   Live Q&A
