Challenge: “Oregon Duck Beats 1.0 was fun, but I think we can do better.”
It’s time for our next study break. So, stop, take a deep breath, grab your hoodie and headphones, and waddle through campus with the Duck. Because there’s nothing like fresh Oregon air to clear your mind and unruffle your feathers. (And who knows, maybe next year he’ll finally make it “over the river and through the woods” all the way to Autzen Stadium. )
