#DucksGive 2018

President Michael H. Schill has established three key priorities to ensure the University of Oregon secures its place among the top public research universities: Excellence, Access, Experience.

Excellence: Building tenure-related faculty and promoting academic research

Access: Ensuring affordability, access and success for students

Experience: Delivering a rich, outstanding educational experience  in an inclusive and diverse environment

Some of the recent investments in these priorities funded by generous donors include: the Presidential Initiative in Data Science, matching funds for nine new endowed faculty chairs, programming for a new Black Cultural Center, the new Media Center for Science and Technology, and the new Oregon Research Schools Network.

How You Can Help

Give to the President's Success Fund: our backbone fund supports the areas of greatest need and impact, enabling the University of Oregon to excel. Whether it's ensuring that our students have access to state of the art equipment, that new initiatives are funded, or that we're able to recruit and hire the best researchers, gifts to the President’s Success Fund make high priority investments possible.

Give to the PathwayOregon Scholarship Fund: this scholarship and advising program helps support affordability and access by providing full tuition and fees for Pell grant-eligible Oregonians who graduate high school with a 3.4 GPA or better. Pathway is a promise to instate students of all backgrounds that the door to a robust education will remain open. PathwayOregon also provides wrap-around advising support so that these students can not only attend Oregon's flagship university, but also succeed and thrive.

Give to the Vice President for Research and Innovation Fund: this program supports student entrepreneurs and innovative faculty research. The fund provides seed funding for new projects designed to support innovation and entrepreneurship that will make an impact in our community, state and world.
