Reminder: Virtual Coffee Chat & Puzzle on Friday!

Hello ACAA folks,

On behalf of the ACAA Community Building Committee, we want to send a reminder about our upcoming event this Friday, February 7th, the Virtual Coffee Chat & Puzzle!

Virtual Coffee Chat & Puzzle FlyerWe’ll be meeting on Zoom from 9am-10am to gather with advisors from across campus to socialize virtually. We’ll also be creating space to share our feelings as advisors around recent regional/national/international policy changes and the effect this may have on our work and our students.
We encourage you all to bring your own coffee, tea, etc. There will be a collaborative virtual puzzle happening in the background that you can work on if you’d like, but our main goal is to allow space for connection and conversation.

Region 8 & 9 NACADA Early Registration Deadlines

Hello ACAA community,

 

I wanted to draw attention to the Region 8 & 9 NACADA Conference in Anchorage, Alaska in March. Scroll to the bottom of the below email for more info.

Thank you to the Professional Development committee for plugging it in their last email!

They have moved the deadline for early bird registration to February 18th since the 17th is a national holiday in Canada and President’s Day here in the U.S.  (although we don’t get it off at UO).

I am on the planning committee for the conference, so if anyone has questions about it, I am happy to do my best to answer them!

Come join us in Alaska! 😊

 

Best,

Emily

As you’ll see below: The team at UO-Portland could use a few more staff members to help out as readers of student applications. I can speak from past experience as a reader: It really is inspiring to read what our students are including in their applications.
