What does the Oregon O signify, anyway? 

Here at the University of Oregon, we're pretty pleased to have the O as a symbol. O represents the unending cycle of education, the inclusiveness of a round table or a circle of tribal elders, and this planet we all share. Consider whether Oregon could be a part of your future.
