With a gift of $500 million, Penny and Phil Knight, BBA '59 launched a new, transformational science campus at the UO. Their extraordinary gift will focus on turning discoveries into benefits for society. The Knight’s gift deepens their legacy as visionary philanthropists dedicated to education, discovery and advancing human potential.
The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact will be dedicated to fast-track science discoveries into innovations, products or cures that could improve the quality of life for people in Oregon, the nation and the world. The Knight Campus, envisioned as a $1 billion initiative that will be largely donor-funded, will work to reshape the higher-education landscape in Oregon by training new generations of scientists, forging tighter ties with industry and entrepreneurs and creating new educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students.
