In addition to providing students with opportunities, your gift will also support the Wayne Morse Center’s free public events, which bring students, scholars, activists, policymakers, and community members together to discuss issues affecting Oregon, our nation, and the world. Your contribution allows us to hold hybrid events that you can attend online from anywhere in the world, or in person here in Eugene.
