Thank You!
The University of Oregon community welcomed nearly 150,000 ticketed fans as well as thousands of spectators, athletes, members of the media, volunteers, and staff to campus during the World Athletics Championships Oregon22. Thank you to all of the UO employees and students who helped make this event a huge success. This work started years before the first athletes arrived and has continued in the days following their departure. The UO appreciates all the ways in which our community contributed, whether it was through supporting the event directly, remaining patient through the changes on campus, or helping keep campus running smoothly for our summer term students and employees, thank you.
