See Something, Say Something, Do Something
Ducks Do Something
On our campus, we take care of each other and are committed to creating a community where every Duck’s experiences—including the parts that are more challenging—are welcome and included in promoting and maintaining healthy development.
We are dedicated to creating a campus culture that is actively engaged in addressing issues related to drug misuse and abuse, all forms of sexualized violence, and physical or psychological harm to ourselves or others. We rely on strong theory, evidence-based practices, and innovative, culturally relevant programming to enhance responsibility and critical consciousness. Our efforts are focused on providing students with education, skills, and resources to help them have an exceptional experience at the UO.
Men’s Resource Center
We envision a community in which all students—especially those who identify as men—are well-equipped to understand and care for their whole selves, as well as the needs of others.
Substance Abuse Prevention Education
We provide tools to help students develop a healthy relationship with alcohol and other drugs, disrupt stigma surrounding substance abuse and mental health, and support students navigating recovery.
Sexual Violence Prevention Education
We aim to create a safer campus community that empowers all Ducks to engage in healthy behaviors, interrupt interpersonal violence, and support the experiences of students who have been harmed.
UO Experiential Learning Initiatives
We produce award-winning intervention programs that educate and build awareness around the complex issues facing college students today.
Undergraduate Student Prevention Requirements
The University of Oregon is deeply committed to your health and well-being, your academic success, and engaging you in a learning experience that creates a healthier campus community. A student’s ability to learn is enhanced when they are a member of a safe and healthy community.
As part of the UO’s comprehensive approach to prevention education, it is required that all new incoming undergraduate students do the following:
- Complete our Online Prevention Course offered through Vector Solutions
- Attend Get Explicit 101
Being impacted by behaviors of students who misuse and abuse substances or are involved in some form of sexual misconduct can all be significant barriers to academic success. Our goal is to reduce the negative consequences of substance misuse and abuse, reduce incidents of unwanted sexual behavior, and increase student coping.
First-Year Students
All incoming first-year students are required to complete Get Explicit 101 and the Online Prevention Course during their first term.
Transfer Students
Transfer students will attend Get Explicit 101 during their IntroDUCKtion Orientation session. They are required to complete the Online Prevention Course during their first term.
Nontraditional and Students in Recovery
We have an alternative to the Online Prevention Course for students who identify with at least one of the following: 25 years old or older, work 40 hours per week, are a parent/caregiver, or in alcohol and other drug recovery. Email prevention@uoregon.edu to learn more. Get Explicit 101 is also required.
Events

Body doubling involves working alongside someone independently to promote accountability, foster focus and motivation, and reduce isolation. If you get easily distracted while studying, if it is helpful for you to have a quiet environment to study in that’s not the library, or if you want to explore the benefit of fidget tools while studying, this is the place for you! The Duck Nest and AEC will provide the space, facilitators, and some materials to help you start or complete your academic tasks, or to provide support with things like goal setting, breaking down tasks, and more. Snacks and fidget tools will be provided!

Students will be incentivized to partake in a resource fair to learn about resources that are supporting survivors and working to prevent violence in their community. Attendees will receive a free sweet treat and other goodies. Afterwards, they will have the opportunity to join a silent disco! Silent discos use wireless headphones to play music instead of traditional speakers, making the partying experience more accessible. There will be three different playlists to choose from, pop princess, EDM, and throwbacks. This event allows students to meet new peers and build community during a month that demands we come together in solidarity with each other and survivors!
This event is a part of a series of events for Sexual Assault Awareness Month hosted by Sexual Violence Prevention and Education (SVPE).
