Meet Tracy Bars

Hometown: Astoria, Oregon

Alma Mater: University of Oregon

What do you like best about working at the University? The ability to switch jobs and learn new things without changing employers.

What is your best advice for new UO students? We really want you to ask for help when you need it.

What is your favorite “hidden gem” in Oregon? Youngs River Falls just outside Astoria city limits. A secluded space in the forest with gorgeous scenery and well off the beaten path.
