Increasing UO Alumni Outreach Beyond US Borders
University of Oregon students hail from the farthest corners of the globe and virtually everywhere in between. Many of the UO’s alumni go on to careers around the world as well. To make sure these internationally oriented alumni stay connected to the UO, the Office of International Affairs (OIA) coordinates outreach to over 13,000 alumni residing outside the US, in addition to about 6,000 former international students and 8,500 study abroad alumni within the US. The UO's Office of International Affairs works closely with the UO Alumni Association (UOAA) to keep these global alumni in touch with the campus community.
Publications
The UO has an enduring tradition of maintaining close relations with alumni from overseas through annual newsletters. Today the university's 15,500 former international students receive the International Alumni News, published jointly by the Office of International Affairs and the UOAA. Study abroad alumni stay up to date with UO internationalization through Flashback.

Alumni Events and Meetings Abroad
Alumni gatherings are a powerful tool in maintaining lifelong connections between UO alumni and their alma mater. International Advancement and Alumni Relations coordinates large and small-scale alumni events to bring Ducks together worldwide. Engaged alumni leaders and UO faculty abroad are instrumental in carrying out many of these gatherings. Since 2004, the UO has offered an average of five international alumni events per year in regions where higher percentages of UO alumni live. Social media has become an important tool in connecting alumni and encouraging locally-organized meetings. The Office of International Affairs makes extensive use of Facebook and LinkedIn for this purpose.

Promoting UOAA membership and supporting UO alumni groups worldwide are important priorities for International Advancement and Alumni Relations. International alumni contacts in many countries provide a point of connection for UO faculty and students abroad, for newly graduating students returning home, and for prospective students interested in learning more about Oregon. The UOAA Japan Chapter in particular, has been recognized for its 30-year history of significant contributions and active engagement with the UO.

Building Alumni Support Internationally
Our international and study abroad alumni understand the goodwill and lifelong connections established through international education and cultural exchange. Maintaining relationships with these members of the UO global community is a key component in advancing the university’s worldwide reputation and enriching our internationalization initiatives. UO Office of International Affairs works to steward and cultivate internationally-oriented contributors, while encouraging increased alumni engagement globally. Alumni outside the USA are actively involved in supporting future and current students through recruitment activities, the hosting of student interns and providing funds for scholarship, campus renovations/construction and academic programs.
Outreach to Future International Alumni
Once a Duck...Always a Duck! Beginning with International Student Orientation, and continuing through the Senior Send-Off, the Office of International Affairs works to instill lasting connections and strong university spirit. International student groups, such as the Korean Students Association and the Japanese Student Organization also provide opportunities for working with alumni.
