The Craft Center is thrilled to welcome Laura McClain as our Spring 2026 Visiting Artist. Laura McClain is a wet felting artist and educator who works with wool to create functional and expressive décor, accessories, and wearables. At the heart of her practice is a method she calls Felt by Feel—a playful, embodied conversation between maker and material that allows her to stay connected to the wool’s changing textures, while tapping into her own responses as the work evolves. Laura has been creating with fiber arts since childhood and brings a balance of technical knowledge, curiosity, and fun to her teaching. To learn more about Laura McClain, please visit www.lauramcclain.art.

Volunteer at UO's only student-led community garden. Nearly every Sunday from 2-4 pm at the Grove Community Garden (1605 Moss Street - just behind Global Scholars Hall).
Work parties are when we come together to collectively care for the space. We have raised beds and other planting areas that are managed by the overall community to produce food (mainly vegetables) for the student food pantry, the SSC Produce Drop, and of course (and often primarily) those who come each week to volunteer. So, a typical work party may include harvesting food, weeding beds, sowing seeds/transplanting starts, chipping a wood path, etc. There is no signup ahead of time, the only prep beforehand is dressing for the weather in clothes you don't mind some dirt/sweat on. Sign up for our newsletter for weekly reminders and updates, and follow us on Instagram too! Note that at times, we have to cancel/reschedule work parties due to upredictable circumstances, and we may be unable to update this recurring weekly posting. See the above channels for the most up to date information. Feel free to email grovegarden@uoregon.edu with any questions or inquires.

The UO Women’s Center invites you to our 48th Annual Take Back the Night Rally, March, and Speakout against Sexual and Domestic Violence.
Take Back the Night seeks to raise awareness about the realities of sexual and domestic violence on campus and in the community and calls on us to take action. This event is for survivors and those who want to support and bear witness in solidarity.
Our theme for this year’s event is Collective Power, a reflection of a strength that shines when people come together. Survivors, allies, advocates, and entire communities uniting to challenge systems of violence, support healing, and demand justice. This theme rejects isolation and emphasizes that no one has to resist or recover alone. Building on last year’s theme, Rest is Resistance, the Women’s Center continues to honor every stage of the journey, and when you are ready to rise, we rise with you."
Event Schedule:
*Rain or shine; full event is wheelchair accessible; open to the entire UO campus and Eugene/Springfield Community (Speakout for UO students only).

Confidentiality Clarification

Mandatory reporting requirements (state of Oregon mandate) remain in effect for this event, which means students/faculty/staff that are mandatory reporters MUST REPORT instances of child abuse. *If a current adult discloses abuse that occurred when they were a child, this is only reportable if there is reasonable suspicion that a child is currently at risk.
If you have questions regarding Take Back the Night, reach out to:
UO Women’s Center Program Director, Sarah Doty at sdoty@uoregon.edu
The Women’s Center is committed to hosting trauma-informed events that honor intersectional experiences, center marginalized voices, and foster a culture of accountability and continuous learning. We believe that while survivor experiences are deeply personal, healing and prevention are collective efforts. We invite you to join us in this work.

Volunteer at UO's only student-led community garden. Nearly every Sunday from 2-4 pm at the Grove Community Garden (1605 Moss Street - just behind Global Scholars Hall).
Work parties are when we come together to collectively care for the space. We have raised beds and other planting areas that are managed by the overall community to produce food (mainly vegetables) for the student food pantry, the SSC Produce Drop, and of course (and often primarily) those who come each week to volunteer. So, a typical work party may include harvesting food, weeding beds, sowing seeds/transplanting starts, chipping a wood path, etc. There is no signup ahead of time, the only prep beforehand is dressing for the weather in clothes you don't mind some dirt/sweat on. Sign up for our newsletter for weekly reminders and updates, and follow us on Instagram too! Note that at times, we have to cancel/reschedule work parties due to upredictable circumstances, and we may be unable to update this recurring weekly posting. See the above channels for the most up to date information. Feel free to email grovegarden@uoregon.edu with any questions or inquires.

Laura has been creating with fiber arts since childhood and brings a balance of technical knowledge, curiosity, and fun to her teaching. To learn more about Laura McClain, please visit www.lauramcclain.art.
