Make a difference for Oregon State University

Be a part of the Believe It campaign and build the momentum for Oregon State University. Here are 10 great ways you can help advance OSU’s goals. 

1. Make a gift of any size to support a program of your choice or one of the following priorities: 

• OSU’s new Finish in Four initiative to help students from Oregon with high financial need graduate in four years.
• The Valley Challenge for Student-Athletes, a bold, three‑year opportunity for Beaver Nation to come together and double the impact of philanthropic support for student‑athlete revenue sharing.
• Include OSU in your will or estate plans: a tax-wise way to support the area of the university you care about most. 

2. Advocate for OSU in Salem and Washington, D.C., through Beaver Caucus. 

3. Help OSU students get jobs or join an alumni network based on your personal or professional interests. 

4. Subscribe to our Beaver Lodge newsletter and the Oregon Stater alumni magazine newsletter. 

5. Buy tickets or tune in to watch the Beavers compete, whether at home or away games. TV viewership matters, too! (Here's the 2026 football schedule.)

6. Become a member of the OSU Alumni Association – or a life member!

7. Check out our event listings to engage with fellow members of the Beaver community.

8.  Volunteer for OSU, such as by serving as a career ambassador or with alumni events in your region.

9. Stay connected and up to date on all things OSU by keeping your contact information current. 

10. Let the world know you care about OSU. 

• Follow OSU or the OSU Foundation on social media and “like” and share stories of interest. 
• Put out an OSU flag or, for those in Oregon, get an OSU license plate. 
• Wear Beaver gear – not just on game day!
