ACAA Event Series: Walking through IntroD!

deck Events

Hello!

As we all prepare for the start of IntroDUCKtion next week, the ACAA Community Building Committee invites you to our new event series, Walking through IntroD! We will be meeting every week on alternating Monday and Thursdays, to take a walk through or near campus. The walks will be an opportunity to connect with other advisors from around campus, catch up with friends, and decompress from summer stress. We hope to see you at one, some, or all of our walks!

Each walk will start at the EMU amphitheater at 9:00 am, and will be about 45 minutes, so you’ll be back in your office for those 10:00 appointments. We will send out reminder emails throughout the summer, but you can review the dates below as well:

  • Monday July 7th
  • Thursday July 17th
  • Monday July 21st
  • Thursday August 31st
  • Monday August 4th
  • Thursday August 14th
  • Monday August 18th

Feel free to reach out to Sarah at sharde@uoregon.edu with any questions!

Spring Term Ducks on Track Utilization Survey and Announcements – Please respond by June 20

deck Events, UO Advising

Greetings!

I know things are wrapping up this time of the term and year, and wish you all the best with your projects and appointments during this busy time.  I’m reaching out to share a few updates and reminders re: Ducks on Track.

New DoT Resource

I’m happy to share we are close to launching many new resources for Ducks on Track via Advising Hub! There will be updated Scribe Hows for the Degree Audit and What If, new mini-modules with videos and Scribe Hows for smaller functions, and a wealth of information in a comprehensive user guide. Additionally, we will have “News” and “Coming Soon” and “Updates” sections on the Advising Hub DoT Page responsive to questions and concerns raised in Ask me Anything sessions and via direct contact from folks, as well as an Archive section with past presentations and materials. A message will go out when the page is launched in the coming weeks.

Spring 2025 DoT Utilization Survey

Ducks on Track has changed quite a bit over the course of the year, and we’d really appreciate updated feedback on the DoT Utilization Survey. You may access it via this link https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3dznoFu4KpWxxky  or QR Code:

DoT Ask me Anything

Finally, tomorrow, June 10, is our last DoT Ask me Anything of the academic year. You can join us at 3:30 via https://uoregon.zoom.us/j/5325689041 . These sessions will return once a month during academic terms in Fall 2025.

 

Thank you again for all your insights, questions, and concerns. We continue to strive to provide the support and tools needed to get the most out of DoT.

 

Best,

Erica

deck Events

Dear ACAA colleagues, ACAA PE & Rec Center Coffee Hour Flyer
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

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.
