…And Great Universities Generate Ideas That Help Shape the Future

At the College of Arts and Sciences, students don’t just inherit these ideas, they help create them. With access to a faculty that ranks among the top fifteen nationally, our social science students emerge as leaders in law, business, public service, and education.

We are a great university. Yet the pace of change is accelerating, not abating, and tomorrow’s challenges and students will require even more of us. How will we meet this challenge?

With your help, we’ll continue to offer a first-rate education to bright students in Oregon regardless of their need; to nurture a campus rich with creativity, discovery, and community; and to encourage the success of our students, our faculty, and our state.

Campaign Oregon is crucial to our ability to build a more independent, entrepreneurial university. This is an opportunity for you to help build that heritage for our future generations.

Students in the social sciences develop the skills to resolve questions about the history and development of humanity and the societies in which we live. They graduate with the ability to assess diverse viewpoints, gather and analyze information, and propose creative solutions to complex problems.

Citizenship, problem-solving, and creativity—ideas—transform lives and shape the future. We invite you to share in those ideas.
