Help SOJC Students Get Their (Web) Feet in the Door!

At the School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC), our passion for student success is reflected in the many advantages we offer:  

  1. Our award-winning faculty are leaders in their fields. 
  2. Our buildings and classrooms offer state-of-the-art communication equipment. 
  3. Our Undergraduate Student Success Center offers ample opportunities for experiential learning, career advice, and connections to experts. 

 

When you donate to the SOJC on Ducks Give, you’re supporting the critical expansion of initiatives that enhance career development, including experiential learning, job shadowing, paid internships, and career prep from our award-winning Undergraduate Student Success Center. Our career and academic advisors offer training, programming and support for career readiness, such as:  

  • Resume-writing seminars: Students learn how to present their skills, experience, and unique qualities to potential employers to ensure they stand out. 
  • Job-search boot camps: Students get tips and advice on everything from leveraging LinkedIn to setting up informational interviews.  
  • Ducks Shadow Ducks: Students spend a day at an organization in their field of interest and are mentored by UO alums and other career professionals.  
     

Support Our Career Preparation 

All SOJC students should have access to career-building opportunities with no financial barriers, and we are making that happen. Your contribution helps ensure our students have the skills and experience to contribute, innovate, and lead in the modern workplace and in our broader society.
