One of Lundquist Connect‘s most powerful tools is “Groups”, a specifically designed feature where users can engage around shared affinities, industries, or goals. Groups are smaller communities that allow you to connect more deeply with fellow Ducks around a common topic or shared affiliation so you can network with intention. 

Within a group you can: 

• Connect directly with members who may not appear in general searches. 
• Join focused discussions on relevant topics. 
• Access exclusive resources only visible to group members. 

Using Groups 

Follow these steps to join a group: 

• Go to lundquistconnect.uoregon.edu and log in with your Duck ID. 
• Hover over “Connect” in the top menu and click on “Groups.” 
• Scroll through the list and choose a Group of interest. 
• Click “Join.” Some Groups may require approval from a moderator.

Once you’re approved, you’ll have access to more targeted networking opportunities! 

To see alumni and other professionals in a Group, visit the Members tab: 

• Use filters or the search bar to narrow your results. 
• Click “Message” to reach out directly and start a conversation.

The Discussion tab is a great place to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from others: 

• Post a question using the text box at the top of the feed. 
• Add details, links, or images to support your post. 
• Brows or reply to others’ posts and contribute to the conversation. 

Many groups offer curated content just for members in the Resources tab: 

• View articles, tools, or recordings of interest. 
• Bookmark resources to revisit later. 

Take Action

If you haven’t already joined Lundquist Connect, take a few minutes to set up your account (it’s simple) so you can begin tapping into a network of more than 1,500 alumni who are eager to help you succeed. Then, join a Group that aligns with your interests or enrollment and see how powerful community can be. And if you have an idea for a group that’s not yet represented on the platform, reach out to Emily Severeid!
