Interfaith Programming
Our faith and spirituality programs offer opportunities for faculty and staff to form authentic connections. Throughout the year, events including Interfaith Night, Peace Feast, Ramadan, Passover, and Love Thy Neighbor help people form connections and build relationships while learning about other faiths, religions and belief systems.
Engagement Grant Programs
Our Employee Engagement Grants Program fosters innovative, sustainable improvements to workplace and learning environments. This commitment to employees’ professional growth helps the university attract and retain top talent.
SOULS Framework
To help us retain talented faculty, the division uses the SOULS framework to determine what is working well and what needs to change in higher education. There are five principles that anchor the SOULS framework: Safety, Organizational Accountability, Unvarnished Truth Telling, Love, and Spirituality. SOULS fosters an environment where everyone can thrive, and each voice is valued.
Executive Coaching
Our Executive Coaching Program builds capacity among mid-level leaders. Coaching creates awareness, generates action and facilitates learning as well as growth. We work towards creating a coaching culture at the UO as a resource for our leadership, faculty, alumni and others.
Write @ Work
Write@Work is a 6-week series of 1-hour virtual journaling sessions that allow employees to reflect and journal during the workday. Focusing on a variety of work-related themes, the sessions transform everyday work experiences into intentional learning opportunities and foster personal growth.
