Campaign Oregon: It's a wrap
University celebrates most ambitious fundraising campaign in state history
Despite beginning and ending during serious economic recessions, Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives, the most ambitious fund raising campaign in state history, soared past its $600-million goal to bring in more than three-quarters of a billion dollars. More than 90,000 individual donors gave $853 million to the campaign, which will fund student scholarships and fellowships, faculty support, academic and program support, and campus facilities.
