Join the Flight to Success: Support the College of Arts and Sciences

We’re excited to Fly Forward and to continue our mission of supporting College of Arts and Science (CAS) students as they soar towards their academic and career goals. As the largest college at UO, CAS offers a wide range of classes, programs, and hands on learning opportunities across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to help students thrive. From African studies to neuroscience to theater arts, our 47 fields of study provide the building blocks for a well-rounded and comprehensive education. 

But we can't do it alone - that's where you come in. By supporting your cherished CAS programs or departments, that provided you with the well-rounded experiences, you can help ensure that our students have access to the resources they need to thrive. Whether it's funding for research opportunities, scholarships, or faculty support, your donation will make a difference.

So let's fly forward together and support the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and leaders.


How You Can Help

Give. Make a gift of any size to any department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Our goal is not a dollar amount, but 150 gifts of $5 or more. What’s more, your gift will help unlock challenge gifts throughout the day to maximize impact.

Share. Spread the word by sharing posts from LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with your network and talking about your favorite departments across the College of Arts and Sciences. Bonus points for using the hashtag #DucksGive!


You make the difference, so help the next flock fly forward and make a gift to CAS today!
