Up next is Natasha. She’s a senior studying public relations with a minor in sports business. Natasha is a huge sports fan and she is here to tell you about athletics on the UO campus. She’s at Hayward field, one of the world’s finest track and field venues and the birthplace of Nike innovation. Natasha, ready, set, go.

– Thanks, Alex. What’s up y’all. I’ve been a huge sports fan my entire life. I knew I absolutely had to attend to college with great teams and an amazing sports atmosphere. I knew the University of Oregon would be exciting to attend as a fan, but also as a student, hoping to work in the sports industry UO is constantly ranked one of the best in the nation in football, men’s and women’s basketball, track and field and softball, just to name a few. Every sporting event is an opportunity for fun, lifelong memories. I’m an intern with our athletic department, where I gained firsthand experience in sports operations. Our nationally recognized teams provide us the opportunity to work behind the scenes and support our athletic programs. UO has world-class facilities and uniforms for every sport. Our wide range of sports success gives us an entire year packed with incredible games and events. At Oregon, you not only have the greatest excitement as a fan, but you also learn from unique sports internships that can only happen here. The University of Oregon is the place to be for college sports. Whether I’m walking across the bridge to Austin for a football game, or I’m working the Olympic trials at Hayward field with my fellow interns, there is always sports to see and ducks to cheer on. Oregon athletics are by far one of the best in the country. Our ducks find success in numerous sports and give us the greatest year round fan experience. I’ve been able to further my interest in sports and explore new career paths while working for our exceptional athletic programs. The University of Oregon is the place to be for every game day for any sport. Go ducks. Back to you, Alex.

– Natasha, that was great. I’m glad sports lovers like you get to have fun rooting for the ducks and finding careers in athletics. I’ll definitely have to check out the next big game on campus. The student athletes are knocking it out of the park here. That was fantastic.
