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.

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,

We’re aware of the executive order to freeze all federally funded programs to go into effect this evening at 5pm EST. However, we have checked in with the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and they said as of now, it’s business as usual. SNAP funds are distributed to the states and states distribute directly to the individuals. There’s no guarantee that this won’t change but for now, please help your students by having them follow us on IG: @uo_basicneeds, check out the SNAP page of our website, or connect with their ODHS office for updates.

I’ve attached our IG post which you may find helpful to share.

Hi all,

I’m pleased to announce two major events for the Basic Needs Program. I’ve attached flyers for both and info below. Please share broadly. We’re looking forward to serving as many students as possible.

1. Monday, February 3, 12:30pm – 4:30pm, presented by the Basic Needs Program and the Student Sustainability Center, Oregon DHS workers will be on campus to help students fill out and get approved for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP is a federal program that provides food-purchasing assistance for low and no-income persons. Join us for free food, info on food resources and live food demonstrations. EMU Crater Lake Rooms

2. Wednesday, Feb 5, 11am-3pm, The annual Housing and Community Resources Fair will be held in the EMU Gumwood room and Ballroom. Join us to explore both on and off campus housing options, learn about renters’ rights and resources, play games, win fun prizes, and find your next home.

Additionally, we’ve made significant user-friendly improvements to the following websites, with updated information and resources for students who are renting off-campus.

Hi ACAA! I’m already planning for the Spring 2025 Momentum Sessions (accountability groups) hosted by Peer Academic Coaches – if you’re meeting with students who might be interested, encourage them to sign-up so that they’re the first to know when Momentum Session registration opens for next term! https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3ypSMAOEya4Avvo (this link also lives on the PAC page of TAEC’s website: https://engage.uoregon.edu/pac )

Not sure what a Momentum Session is?

Joining a Momentum Session will help students:

• connect with peers
• practice and learn impactful study habits
• have dedicated time work on your tasks

As a group, they will learn from each other, sharing resources and strategies, while celebrating accomplishments and successes!

Each Momentum Session will have 50 minutes to meet weekly in the Tutoring and Academic Engagement Center, starting Week 3.

ACAA team! 🙂

We have been in the process of implementing some major specific programming over here in the College of Arts & Sciences, Social Sciences division, and we wanted to make sure this information/opportunity reaches each office, and to your students. I’ve included some context and the messaging that has already been sent to declared students but please feel free to share with students that you think may benefit. There are flyers attached and graphics at the bottom.

Context reminder:

Over the summer of 2024 we moved more than 500+ students through group advising for Psychology and 125+ incoming and transfer Environmental Science & Environmental Studies students as well. As an advising group we have decided that was just not enough time! So, we decided to develop (pilot) a yearlong advising workshop series for AY 2024-25 called “Re-IntroDUCKtion”. Fall term we started by doing a full major overview for these 3 majors and are happy to say that we were able to support more than 125 students! For winter term, we are going to shift our focus to experiential learning and work to inform students about all of the ways they can lean deeper into their major.

Student messaging:

We’re so happy to have you on campus and welcome you to the University of Oregon! This last summer’s IntroDUCKtion flew by, fall term is now a distant memory, and now it’s time to do a deeper dive and explore all the ways you can get more involved in your major. As a Psychology/Environmental Science/Environmental Studies major you are part of a year-long workshop series called Re-IntroDUCKtion. Over the course of this coming year we will do a major deep dive (fall-done!), explore opportunities to get involved in the major (winter-sign up now!) and investigate potential career pathways (spring-coming soon!).
