10am - 11am January 16, 2026 | Making Handshake Work - Common Issues and How to Fix Them | Jon Ambrose, University Career Center | Handshake is a fantastic tool to help our on-campus employers find and select student workers. It is the University's policy for all student positions to be listed on the platform. Just because it is required does not mean the platform always makes it easy. For on-campus employers, there are a plethora of common headaches Handshake can cause. Creating a department or unit account can be unintuitive. Setting up individual users can be frustrating. Learning how to communicate and track candidates is arbitrarily limited. Knowing how to get answers to those or any other problem is what this workshop seeks to address. | |
10am - 10:45am January 23, 2026 | The Campus Map platform and map-based apps for UO employees and students | Amy Shadell & Ken Kato, Safety and Risk Services | Made for Ducks by Ducks, the campus map platform and integrated location-based applications provide resources and tools to help people across the university. We'll share tips and tricks to get the most from the map and showcase new apps and features. | |
11am - 12pm January 30, 2026 | Mo’ Money, No Problems (If You Disclose): Conflicts of Interest Made Simple | Leah Gessel & Mandy Gettler Brown, Office of Research and Innovation | In this interactive presentation, attendees will gain a clear understanding of the UO’s Conflict of Interest, Conflict of Commitment, and Outside Activities Policy as well as Oregon state ethics law that regulate how UO employees may engage in outside activities and accept compensation outside their UO position. Through real-world scenarios and examples, we’ll explore when disclosure and approval are required, how to submit disclosures in the Research Administration Portal, and what steps are involved in the approval process. Attendees will have the opportunity to raise questions about their own situations and will leave with a practical checklist of guided questions to help them evaluate potential conflicts in their professional context. | |
10am - 10:45am February 6, 2026 | A Lifetime of Learning for Ducks Across the Globe (UO Online & CPE's Vision) | Deborah Keyek-Fransse Associate Vice Provost for UO Online & Continuing and Professional Education | The University of Oregon's new Associate Vice Provost will present UO Online and Continuing and Professional Education’s vision, which focuses on expanding online graduate programs, supporting departments' launch of a select group of core ed courses as online offerings, and growing the campus' non-credit offerings. | |
11am - 12pm February 13, 2026 | Global Engagement, Local Procedures: Making Sense of Export Controls at the UO | Ethan Mapes & Mandy Gettler Brown, Office of Research and Innovation | In this interactive presentation, attendees will develop a clear understanding of how federal export control regulations impact their work at the UO as well as the university’s procedures for compliance and support of international engagement. Designed for administrators and unit leaders, this session is especially relevant for departments and centers engaged in international research, scholarship, or creative activities; hiring international employees; hosting international scholars; traveling abroad; or shipping materials internationally. Through an engaging role-play scenario, attendees will work in teams to make decisions, explore potential outcomes, and deepen their understanding of how export control regulations apply to real-world situations. | |
