Ducks Supporting Ducks
Once a Duck, always a Duck—and at the SOJC, we’re a tight-knit flock. With an alumni community that’s 20,000-strong and growing, the SOJC network is an invaluable resource for our students on the path to becoming the next generation of world-changing journalists and communicators.
One of the easiest ways to support SOJC students is by giving to the Dean's Fund with instructions for where you want your money to go. Our faculty and staff are also always looking for alumni to mentor students or speak in classes. Contact the SOJC development team at sojcdevelopment@uoregon.edu if you have questions.

Zaria Parvez ’20 has already made a name for herself as the creative genius behind language-learning app Duolingo’s Tiktok-famous owl mascot. When the company hired her to be its social media coordinator right out of college, Parvez realized she had a big advantage because of her experience in the SOJC’s advertising program. She was familiar with terminology and strategic communication strategies that were foreign to even some of her superiors.
“I think that was only possible because of the classes the SOJC provided, the student groups and the professors constantly pushing us to be the best versions of ourselves,” she said. “There is no way I would have been here without it.”
