Oregon is our classroom and our lab. For 150 years, we’ve put on our hiking boots, our hard hats — even our scuba gear — to do groundbreaking research in almost every part of the state, from the Cascades to the southern Oregon Coast, from the high desert to the Willamette Valley. And while we’re learning and growing, we’re giving back to the people and communities that inspire and sustain us. For 150 years, UO has been leaving its mark on the state and we aren’t stopping anytime soon. Read on for some examples of UO’s impact on people and communities around Oregon 🔗 bit.ly/4z6Go0D

Concussion recovery isn’t always visible. Your support matters. Take symptoms seriously. Be patient with recovery. A UO brain injury expert explains what else can help. 🔗 bit.ly/3W7KeJm

What makes a flock stick together? The key is staying in perfect balance, research shows. 🦆 UO physicist John Toner has studied flocking for decades. His research has helped show that movement is a critical aspect of flocking. Beyond swooping chimney swifts or swarms of ants, flocking theory also helps scientists understand other kinds of collective movement, like how cancer cells or bacteria divide and spread.

A track coach. A waffle iron. An idea that helped change how the world runs. At Oregon, challenging convention has always been part of the story. Today, that instinct is opening new possibilities for human health. Ducks are studying how the body performs and recovers through the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance. At the Ballmer Institute, they’re preparing a new kind of provider through the nation’s first undergraduate degree in child behavioral health. Different challenges. The same Oregon impulse: see what could be better, then help build it. #WeAreHere #GoDucks

For 150 years, the University of Oregon has been shaped by people willing to imagine what comes next. From its beginnings in Eugene in 1876 to its emergence as a leading public research university, Oregon’s story is one of discovery, creativity, resilience, and an enduring commitment to serving the state and the world. Look back at the moments, people, and ideas that have shaped the University of Oregon—and the legacy that continues to move us forward.
