Partnering with you to ensure student success!


In 2023, we've embarked on a mission to empower past, present, and future parents and families, offering diverse avenues to champion their University of Oregon students—and others too!

We invite parents and family members to actively engage with the Duck Family, fostering a lasting connection beyond your student's time at the UO. Whether through mentoring, advocating, volunteering, or philanthropy, we encourage you to become an integral part of our community, extending your support not only during your student's academic journey but also when they, in turn, have their own legacy at the UO.

Join us in creating a network that transcends generations and enriches the University of Oregon experience for all.
