Fostering a lasting connection of families at OSU
At Oregon State University, parents and families play a crucial role in supporting the institution each year, creating lasting bonds that extend beyond their student's time at the university.
We invite you to become an essential part of our community through mentoring, advocacy, volunteering and/or philanthropy. Your involvement not only supports your student's academic journey but also helps them build their own legacy at Oregon State.
By contributing to the OSU Parent and Family Fund or a specific area of the university that holds special significance to your family, you strengthen your commitment to enhancing the Oregon State experience in a meaningful way.

- An enriched welcome experience for Oregon State families
