Fueling Excellence in Teaching and Research
At the University of Oregon, exceptional faculty are at the heart of every transformative student experience and groundbreaking discovery. They are mentors, innovators, and leaders—shaping minds, advancing knowledge, and inspiring the next generation.
Your support makes this possible.
When you invest in endowed chairs, professorships, seed grants, and research awards, you empower our faculty to do their best work. Your gifts help attract and retain top scholars, spark bold new ideas, and bring world-class educators to our classrooms and labs.
The impact of your generosity is far-reaching. Faculty supported by donor gifts energize departments, lead pioneering research, and elevate the university’s academic reputation. They also inspire students who go on to become the next generation of scholars and leaders.
Because of you, UO faculty don’t just teach—they transform.
“Faculty chairs provide essential professional recognition and help fund our research. They free funds for hiring more faculty members, and they give our younger faculty members something to strive for.”
