Whether you’re looking to kickstart your career, make new friends in a new city, continue learning, or all of the above, we’ve got you covered. Once A Duck, Always a Duck.
Celebrate your next chapter
Class of 2026, let's celebrate you! Join us for New Grad Send-Off on June 4 as we welcome you into the UO alumni community. Come celebrate your hard work, connect with fellow grads, and kick off what's next.
All graduating students will receive a Once A Duck, Always A Duck pint glass, and UO Alumni Association members receive even more gifts.
