Meet the All Hands Group

What the group is and does:

“All Hands” (on deck)—a group of faculty, administrators, teaching support staff, and IT experts—has met since the start of the COVID pandemic to more tightly connect around the policy, planning, pedagogy, and technology undergirding teaching. We continued the group for the purpose of ensuring our efforts amplify one another, that we share information and resources, and that we are tuned into faculty and GE needs across teaching contexts. 

Meetings are 30 minutes on Zoom, and include:

  • Highlighted information and resources from the Faculty Success e-newsletter
  • A topical focus (frequently generated by group interest) related to UO policies, processes, needs, or trends impacting members, and time to pose questions and get answers.
  • 10-15 minutes of discussion that helps us collectively take the pulse of teaching challenges and successes that the teaching community is experiencing.   

Members can find Notes from Winter, Spring 2023 Meetings (UO Login Required).
