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 one of the following priorities: 

  • OSU’s new Finish in Four program to help students from Oregon with high need graduate in four years.
  • The OSU Athletics Fund for Excellence to help OSU’s student-athletes continue to compete at the highest level. 
  • Or another OSU program of your choice. 
  • Include OSU in your will or estate plans: a tax-wise way to support the area of the university you care about most. 

2. Volunteer for OSU; opportunities include serving as a career ambassador, legislative advocate through Beaver Caucus, regional volunteer and more. 

3. Join OSU Connections – the Beavs-only online career networking hub – and promote it among employers, students and alumni, or get involved with one of our growing array of affinity-, identity-, regional- and college-based networks.

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. TV viewership matters, too!

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, and don't miss our annual Dam Proud Day in April. 

8. Participate in OSU Days of Service in May by logging your volunteer hours for any organization or cause. 

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!
