UO Student Experience Develops Leaders

The University of Oregon student experience is unique. Students here get to know their professors and participate in original research. They learn by doing and are active in the community to an extraordinary degree. They have exceptional exposure to cultures of other countries. They enjoy an intimate, picturesque campus and experience big-time college athletics.

The student experience here cultivates leadership abilities. That may explain why the University of Oregon outpaces other schools in the production of Peace Corps volunteers, rates as one of the most politically active universities, and numbers among its graduates more general officers than any other nonmilitary ROTC school nationwide.

Private gifts are critical to creating a student experience that is second to none. They enable us to attract and retain top students with first-year enrichment programs, increased opportunities for student research and study abroad, and new leadership training programs.
