University Advancement Volunteer Conduct Statement
At the University of Oregon, we continually strive to build a community where we cultivate respect, tolerance, and understanding to advance individual growth and protect the dignity and mental, physical and emotional welfare of all community members.
We are grateful for the time you devote to supporting the UO and your commitment to creating this community.
By volunteering, you agree to:
- Maintain respectful and considerate behavior when interacting with other volunteers, alumni, parents,
students, campus staff, and other university constituents. - Foster a collaborative and supportive environment among all volunteers.
- Identify yourself as a University of Oregon volunteer rather than an employee or official representative
of the University of Oregon when engaging with third parties, including media outlets, universities,
companies, and others. - Know, adhere to, and abide by institutional policies and procedures.
- Act in the best interest of the university and align with its mission and values.
- Secure all sensitive and confidential university information.
- Avoid actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest, including abuses of power.
We ask that volunteers acknowledge and adhere to these expectations. Volunteers should also know they are
supported and can expect other members of our community to uphold this code of conduct. If you have
concerns about any member of our community or have questions about any UO or Advancement policies, please
contact University Advancement or the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access. University Advancement
reserves the right to disengage with any volunteer at any time.
