Hello all,
The SOJC wanted to announce a fun new science class that our Science Communication team and the Biology department have been working on!
It is BI/JCOM 185M: Science and Popular Media and will go towards the Science Area of Inquiry! See the attached slide for more info on it.
Spring 2025 will be the first time this class is offered. It will be cross listed with BI and JCOM and cotaught by Mark Blaine from the Science Communication minor and Kelly Sutherland from Biology.
This is the first time the SOJC has ever had a >3 Science class under us before and we are really excited about this collaboration with biology!
Please plug to your students, especially for any who may be a bit nervous about science classes. This would be a great option for those folks who are in non-STEM majors.
Best,
Emily

Hello University of Oregon Advisors!
We hope this email finds you well! As we prepare our students to register for the Spring 2025 term, the Academic Residential Research Initiatives (ARRI) team wanted to share the attached document that outlines key information about our Academic Residential Communities (ARCs) and their associated curricula.
ARC Information for Advisors and Faculty
These communities follow a specific year-long structure that involves an ARC seminar and additional courses taken as a cohort each term. As we have many different communities across many different disciplines, it is likely one of your advisees will be a part of an ARC and may need this information.
While ARC students will receive communication about the expectations for the ARC in Spring term, we want to make sure all of our advisors have a resource to refer to in case any questions arise. See attached document for a quick rundown of our ARC program.
Please feel free to reach out to arcs@uoregon.edu if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Jessica Winders, Victoria Robinson, and Makaal Williams

Hi,
I have put together some promotional materials for a new SPAN 399 Spanish & Community in Lane County course I’ll be piloting next term. I think it will be a great opportunity for students with 300-level Spanish proficiency in many majors and minors. I’m attaching my draft syllabus for your perusal. As you can see in the attached materials, students can use it toward the SPAN major or minor, the Global Studies major, and toward the Latinx Studies minor.
The prerequisites are SPAN 203, SPAN 228 or by instructor approval (those should be fixed on the Class Schedule this week).
Could you please help me spread the word to any advisors so they can mention it to students? I’m happy to answer any questions about it if they arise.

Hi all,
The deadline to RSVP to the first of the “Practice to Presentation” workshops is coming up quick!

See details below.
Sincerely,
The ACAA Professional Development Committee
Hello ACAA Members,
The Professional Development Committee is excited to announce the first event in our forthcoming series “Practice to Presentation.” The series is designed to help advisors turn their advising practice and experience into something they can share at a regional or national advising conference. The series will culminate in an advising conference at UO for folks to:
Our first event, “Turning Advising Practice into Shareable Knowledge” will be held on March 13th from 9:00 -11:00 am in Tykeson Commons.
Breakfast will be included, and seats are limited to 40, so please RSVP by Feb 14 via this link.
In our winter workshop, we’ll reflect on our advising practices, brainstorm potential research questions, and collaborate on presentation projects. We will also discuss what “research” means in a professional advising context. No experience or familiarity with research, advising or otherwise, is required or expected!
We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
The ACAA Professional Development Committee

Dear ACAA colleagues, 
If you have already accepted the previous invite, apologies for the double invite/email. Just to clarify, this will be an in-person event, not virtual.
Join us at the Department of Physical Education and Recreation on March 7th from 9-10:30 AM to learn how we can enhance academic success and overall well-being for the UO community (students, and you too). This session will provide a look at the diverse PE classes and programming, world-class facilities, and valuable resources available to UO students, faculty, and staff members.
This is an informal opportunity to gather, have coffee and morning pastries while connecting with the PE & Rec Team to learn more. Participants are invited to tour the Student Rec Center and even stop in the Zen Zone for a 15-minute chair massage or try a quick yoga session.
Enjoy your weekend!
Best,
PE & Rec Team
