The OSU Monthly Campaign Update tracks progress toward our $625 million campaign goal, celebrates successes along the way, and, above all, showcases the impact philanthropy makes on OSU students, the state of Oregon, and our world.

As of Jan. 31, commitments to The Campaign for OSU total $560.6 million. Learn more about campaign progress.

This year the campaign is intensifying efforts to build support for OSU's faculty: the men and women in whom OSU's educational mission lives and breathes.

Endowed faculty positions are the single most effective means of enabling OSU to compete in recruiting and retaining top academic talent. Twenty-eight endowed faculty positions have been created in the campaign to date, in addition to other gifts supporting faculty.

This campaign update features three faculty support funds that are making an impact:

For students: Slayden Construction Faculty Fellowship (College of Engineering)

For Oregon: Giustina Endowed Professorships (College of Forestry and College of Agricultural Sciences)

For the world: Robert S. Yeats Professorship of Earthquake Geology and Active Tectonics (College of Science)
