The OSU Monthly Campaign Update tracks progress toward our $1 billion campaign goal, celebrates successes along the way, and, above all, showcases the impact philanthropy makes on OSU students, the state of Oregon, and our world.

Monthly Highlights

In January gifts from generous OSU donors passed the $50 million mark for the 2011-12 fiscal year, bringing the campaign total to $787.6 million. Learn more about campaign progress.

At the State of the University Address on Jan. 18, President Ed Ray described OSU's wide-ranging impact and commitment to promoting economic growth, strengthening communities, and improving quality of life.
