The office of Childcare & Family Resources is currently accepting nominations for the 2013-14 Family Friendly Faculty Award. The Family Friendly Faculty Award is awarded to a faculty or staff member who has provided exemplary support to an OSU student with children.

Support may come in the form of mentoring, encouragement, accommodations, or anything parents have found helpful in and out of the classroom to remove barriers to success and/or elevating the campus awareness of students with children.

If you know of someone deserving this award, please take a few moments to write a nomination letter including within: their name and department, your name and department, why you would like to nominate this person, and examples of ways they have helped you (or someone you know) be successful at OSU. Nomination letters are due to amy.luhn@oregonstate.edu  or delivered to the Childcare & Family Resources office before July 31, 2014.

In conjunction with the national Take Your Sons and Daughters to work day, OSU is hosting Bring Your Kids to Campus Day on April 25th, 2014. Bring your Kids to Campus Day is way to celebrate family, the importance of education and to highlight the myriad of family-friendly activities on campus.

Register in advance and each child in your family will receive a snack bag with a reusable water bottle, fruit, cheese, and veggies thanks to Childcare and Family Resources, Beaver Beginnings, Be Well. Be Orange, and Pacific Source Healthy Life!

Snack bags will be available on April 25th at the event table between Snell and Waldo Hall from 9am-3pm.

Parents must remain with their children at all activities unless otherwise noted. Bring your kids to campus to show them where you spend the day!

The College of Education is very excited to be part of this year’s festivities. See the flyer below for a list of all the activities:
