Quick Quack is the official student newsletter. It notifies students about what is going on around campus that week, connects them with resources, and reminds them of important dates. The email is sent to all Eugene-based students on Thursdays, with a reduced number of sends during the summer term. Content is selected on the following criteria:
- Event is open to most or all students
- Event is posted on the official UO calendar
- Event is an official university-sanctioned or -sponsored event (typically on campus)
- Event supports academic and diversity missions of the university
- Information is critical to student success
- Information is required to notify students
- Information has a redirect to learn more
- Information connects students to a sense of belonging
- Information supports a harm-reduction strategy to engage with events during higher risk times (Thursday–Saturday evenings)
We will not include information that:
- promotes human research
- promotes a specific major or minor (unless it is a brand new announcement)
- promotes student surveys unless approved by vice president for university communications
- promotes events with limited capacity
- promotes a business, event, or product unless a contract is signed with the university (certain restrictions apply)
- announces finalists or individual winners for awards and scholarships
