Antonio Diaz joined the University of Oregon Alumni Association (UOAA) in October 2024 as a Digital Marketing Assistant, based at the new UO Portland campus. In his role, he supports the UOAA’s digital communications efforts including email marketing, webpage creation, and other outreach channels that help connect Ducks around the world.

As a first-generation college graduate and military veteran, Antonio’s experiences traveling across the U.S. and internationally have shaped his outlook. After completing his military service, he earned a BA in Marketing from Portland State University.

In his free time, Antonio enjoys staying active through running and honing his Muay Thai skills. He also finds relaxation in drawing and exploring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. When possible, he travels to Jalisco, Mexico, to spend time with family. One dream that remains high on his list: visiting Egypt to see the Great Pyramid of Giza in person.

Antonio is grateful for the opportunities he’s had and is passionate about the role communications play in building a strong, connected community. He believes that thoughtful, engaging messaging can strengthen alumni ties, celebrate shared experiences, and inspire future generations of students.
