Week of Welcome—September 25–October 12, 2014
The wait is over. The Memorial Quad is filling with activity, the student section at Autzen Stadium has returned to screaming fans and painted bodies, and bike traffic on 13th Avenue is picking up. Fall 2014 is finally here.
From DuckN2theRec on Thursday to University Convocation on Sunday, faculty, staff and student WOW leaders have been preparing for months to provide a fun-filled start to your University of Oregon experience. So, jump in with both feet. You’ll only have one Week of Welcome experience.
Welcome From the Vice President—September 24, 2014
Hello Fellow Ducks,
Welcome to the University of Oregon! Whether you’re a first-year student or a senior about to graduate–or somewhere in between–we’re glad you’re a Duck!
To our newest Ducks, my staff and I want to make sure you have an exceptional experience here at Oregon. We are going to make sure you are challenged, have lots to do, have a place to build a community and make new friends.
