Meet #DuckGrad25, Daisy Saucedo! 🦆 Daisy is graduating this month with her bachelor's degree in advertising and was recently recognized with a 25 Ducks Award presented by Emerald Media Group, OCCU, The Duck Store, and the Student Alumni Association.

I came to the University of Oregon knowing my time was limited, but I was determined to make it count. What I am most proud of is cofounding the UO Poet Society, where students come together to share their voices and feel seen. I also worked with the Suicide Prevention Lab, creating content that supported mental health awareness. Along the way, I was honored with the First-Generation Leader Award from Muxeres and the Woman of Excellence Award from Women in Business, two communities that have shaped me and pushed me to lead with purpose. One of the most unforgettable parts of my time here was traveling to New York City with Women in Business, where I saw firsthand how far passion, creativity and drive can take you.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲?
There are so many paths I’m excited to explore. I’m determined to move to New York City and build a career in creative storytelling through marketing and advertising. I want to help shape more inclusive narratives and show what’s possible for women of color in leadership. There’s still progress to be made, and I’m hopeful about being part of that change. I want to lift up voices that haven’t always been heard and help create a future where more people like me feel seen and valued.
