Olum’s early childhood educators help UO families flourish

At UO, we understand that balancing work, teaching, and family life can be challenging for our faculty and staff. That is where Vivian Olum Child Development Center comes in—our dedicated and educated teachers care for the young children of UO faculty and staff so they can do all the amazing work that happens at UO. That's why we are excited about this opportunity to provide support for the professional development of our amazing teachers who allow our wonderful faculty and staff to excel in their academic and professional endeavors.
