Choose to Be more.
Realizing the potential of equality requires action.
Only with a true diversity of individuals, experiences and ideas can there be the potential for The Duck Store, the University of Oregon and our community to advance. That progress for all is impossible until we act against racism, bigotry and ignorance oppressing members of our society. We commit to making choices that empower communities who face discrimination and marginalization, and seek out team members and partners who stand with us in a drive towards equality.
