Graduating Ducks

So, you graduated... now what?

To help you through the transition from student to alumni, our team at the UO Alumni Association (UOAA) put together some tips to make sure you get the most out of your alumni network, and stay connected to the UO. Check out how to get started below.
Forward your uoregon email

Did you know that you get a lifetime forward for your uoregon email address?
We’re spreading the word so that you can put a forward on your UO email account to keep getting messages after you graduate. Setting up the email forward to a personal email will ensure people can still reach you at your UO address (@uoregon.edu) after you move on. Convenient, right? Don’t forget to export any emails you’d like to keep—while your forward will last forever, your access to log in to UOmail to retrieve your stored emails won’t!

Set up your account on uoalumni.com

Make your alumni status official when you set up your account on uoalumni.com.
Whether you are continuing on to graduate school, taking a year off, or jumping webbed-feet first into your career, your updated alumni profile is the best way to stay connected to the Duck alumni network. You can even update your email preferences so you only get the alumni news and communications that are important to you.

Update your address

Let us know where you land!
Whether you've decided to stay in the Eugene/Springfield area, return to your hometown, or spread your wings in a new city, we want to know! Help us keep you informed of events and happenings in your area by updating your address so you only receive information relevant to where you land.

Find your Duck community!

Find your Duck community!
We’ve got regional and identity-based alumni groups all around the world. Make sure you're in the know about groups that matter to you by signing up for their newsletters. When you update your address, we’ll automatically update the regional groups you’ll receive info about.

Complete the Final Destination Survey

Whether you are starting your post-grad professional career, or headed to a graduate program, we want to know!
Sharing your post-graduation plans helps support the education and student services for future Ducks. Help the UO prepare the Ducks who follow you for post-graduation by completing the First Destination Survey on Handshake.

Introducing the Duck Career Network

The place for Ducks to learn from fellow Ducks.
We know that everyone has a unique professional journey, and the UOAA's Duck Career Network is here to share in the journey's of our alumni. The Duck Career Network has webinar and networking opportunities, career design programs, career coaches (who are fellow Ducks), job-seeking resources, and more! Where ever you go in your career, know that dedicated Ducks have your back.

One year of career services through the University Career Center

Take advantage of one year of career services from the University Career Center.
We know landing that first job post-graduation is a big deal, and not always easy. That's why the University Career Center offers new grads—that's you!—one year of career services after you graduate. Explore the variety of resources and ideas that will help guide you through this time of transition, or reach out to the Career Center office for one-on-one support.

Success begins with (a) Handshake

Get started on your Career Readiness Flight Path by joining the career community made just for UO students and alumni!
That's right! Handshake isn't just to find student jobs on campus. It's also where employers are posting opportunities with their companies, and they are excited to hire Ducks. This benefit is open to all UO alumni for life, so if you need a career change, or are ready for that next opportunity, start your search with UO's Handshake.
