University of Oregon Raises Record $853 Million in Campaign Oregon

The campaign’s success extends the university’s ability to fulfill its mission to serve the state of Oregon by increasing student access to higher education; by supporting faculty members whose research benefits business, government and social services; and by enhancing direct social and cultural services for Oregon citizens. It also represents how private giving and state and federal support can be used together to achieve greater results. Examples include the HEDCO Education Building, which will open in June 2009, and the Lorry I. Lokey Laboratories, which opened in spring 2008. Both projects and others received private donations as well as federal and state funding.
