The Grounds team applied and was approved for the VPFA Duck Diversity fund – They chose to do Ice Cream Fridays in September/October. The team participated in weekly inclusion activities paired with an ‘ice cream social’. These activities helped to create connections, expand understanding between team members, improve team relationships and build trust and empathy leading to better support systems. Attached is a photo of the Grounds Team and Zero Waste Team at our favorite ice cream shop, Prince Puckler's.

CPFM Field Trip to Reed Canyon |
On October 7th, Mike Harwood, Steve Mital, Aaron Olsen, Rosalee Clanton, and Kevin Farthing toured Reed Canyon. Reed Canyon is a 28 acre natural area at the heart of Reed College. They learned about restoration and maintenance that has transformed the canyon over the last 20 years. The canyon includes the headwaters of Crystal Springs Creek, which provides critical salmon and steelhead habitat, and has a diversity of wildlife and native plants that supports outdoor learning, recreation, and a natural place to rest and relax. The tour was led by Reed’s Facilities Operations Manager, Zac Perry who has been a champion of the Reed Canyon restoration and maintenance efforts.
Last summer CPFM completed the Willamette River Natural Area Landscape Management Plan. This plan establishes guidance for how CPFM can restore and maintain our 24 acre riverfront natural area to create and enhance a variety of habitats (riparian areas, grasslands, and mixed forest). Reed College’s success in restoring the canyon is an inspiration to the potential of how our riverfront could become a destination for more students to learn, recreate, and relax along the Willamette River.

The UO Caregiver Networks (uoregon.edu/caregivers) help UO families identify care providers and shared care opportunities. These lists are exclusively for members of the UO Community. Both lists include information about UO affiliation, types of care, experience, availability, and completed trainings.
Only those with a UO email address can access the network. UO families looking for care can log in with their DuckID to securely view care provider and shared care information. UO families work directly with care providers to discuss opportunities, schedules and pay rates. Similarly, families looking to share care or to connect with other UO families can view the UO Shared Care list for possible matches and reach out to individual families.

Dear Gabe (Hein),
Thanks for your crew and your hard work on this clean up. The courtyard at YLC in MCK is fantastic! It really looks beautiful and inviting with the cleaning and the new furniture. We have received many compliments from folks that ask if the UO has replaced the benches, which now look completely different than before. We've seen a noticeable uptick in folks using the courtyard. Thanks so much for your help with making these improvements!

I want to write to you with a big compliment for your employee Ashley (Mayfield). She has stepped up in a winning way twice recently for the University Career Center. First, she helped (as scheduled) by transporting recruiter displays and materials from the Career Expo in the EMU Ballroom to Career Center offices in Tykeson Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2022. Unexpectedly we had more boxes to transport than had been delivered that morning, some of them weighing as much as 50 lbs. and another awkward box containing a large monitor. Ashley stepped up and took care of the transport without a single complaint, with a good-humored smile on her face. Second, she was in our office on Friday, Oct. 28th to hang a framed certificate for my supervisor, which she took care of quickly. My colleague, Tina Haynes and I had two additional, similar projects for which we were intending to log requests (but hadn’t gotten them in yet). Ashley told us she had time and quickly took care of both hangings while we submitted the requests online. This was above and beyond the call of duty and was done with grace and determination. Ashley is so capable with a wonderful cheerful disposition. It was a joy to have her support or efforts. Please thank her again for us.
Warm regards, Colleen Lewis
