Friends of Oregon Rowing Welcome Back
Celebrate Oregon Rowing with races, a luau, and alumni camaraderie.
Oregon Rowing has a deep-rooted history that extends beyond the boat. Celebrate our shared legacy by returning to Dexter Lake and Oakshire Brewing Public House for the Friends of Oregon Rowing Welcome Back Event.
Be one of the first to watch our 2025–2026 team in action on the water, with varsity, novice, and mixed races throughout the morning. Arrive by 11:00 a.m. for a tour of Oregon Rowing's boathouse site and to potentially step back into the boat yourself! Then, we will say “aloha” to the November chill with a luau lunch at Dexter Lake. Enjoy great food and camaraderie with fellow rowing alumni and current team members. Happy hour to follow at Oakshire Brewing in Eugene. Let's cheers to the team and our fantastic alumni community!
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the Oregon Rowing community and celebrate the memories that shaped our UO experiences.
