Nominations are due by May 17 for the annual OA Star recognition. The award, given by the OA Council, recognizes officers of administration for making positive impacts to the university.

Nominees should make contributions that improve the institution and the university community, exhibit a spirit of collegiality and vision, and work well with peers and partners across departments. They should also strive for continuous improvement by building cross-campus relationships and offering creative solutions that improve the university.

UO community members can nominate up to three officers of administration by completing the online survey. Each nomination should include a short paragraph that addresses the prescribed criteria of excellence in performance, personal interaction, initiative and creativity, and commitment to fostering a more inclusive campus community. Nominations are due by Monday, May 17.

Recipients will be notified by May 21. The honorees will be recognized at the OA Council spring open meeting on May 25 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. This meeting will take place on Zoom and be recorded for those who are unable to attend.
