Oregon150: Rising Together

As the University of Oregon approaches its 150th anniversary, we are seizing a historic opportunity to reflect and rise together. Oregon150 is a bold fundraising initiative designed to fuel Oregon Rising, our strategic framework for the future. 

Our aspiration is to be a preeminent and innovative public research university that enriches the human condition. Through Oregon150, we are rallying support around two key priorities: advancing student success and investing in transformative capital projects. 

Be a part of the UO’s next chapter. Learn how we’re preparing students through academic excellence, impactful programs, and support services—and how we’re shaping collaborative, future-focused spaces in Eugene and Portland.

Take a look inside the UO’s transformative teacher-preparation pathway

The Educational Foundations program offers future educators a clear pathway, hands-on experience, and a strong sense of community. Through a 4+1 model, students complete four years of undergraduate study followed by a year focused on licensure at the graduate level. Donor support—especially through scholarships like the Logan Scholarship—plays a central role in sustaining and growing the program, supporting both undergraduate students and those pursuing graduate education degrees.

Looking outward as life changes: One donor's approach to planned giving

At 86, Alan Eliason has turned a lifetime in education into a lasting commitment to giving. From his early years in Minnesota to a 40-year career at the UO, his belief in the power of learning now lives on through planned gifts and endowed funds, including the Jane Eliason Fund in Communication Disorders and Sciences and the Charlotte Sahnow Scholarship for Bilingual, Dual Language, and ESOL Educators. He is honoring loved ones while expanding opportunities for future generations.
