From the first graduating class of 15 in 1997, the number of Honors alumni has grown to more than 2,500, which means new opportunities for networking all the time. The UHC still attracts Oregon’s best students – not to mention motivated learners from all over the country and world. The UHC gives undergraduates research opportunities, provides small classes and helps create a supportive atmosphere for our students. We’re still dedicated to preparing future leaders in business and the community in Oregon and beyond. You can help build on our legacy by mentoring current students.

The UHC is working hard to keep track of Honors Program and Honors College alumni. *Please complete our Alumni Information Update Form so we can keep in touch and inform you of Alumni events, activities, and opportunities!

Giving to the UHC

Excellence is the watchword of the University Honors College at OSU, and interest in the UHC is skyrocketing. The UHC is becoming a destination for high achieving and highly motivated students from across the state and around the nation. As such the UHC has established the Excellence Fund to help students achieve their goal and fulfill their potential. Scholarship is a serious responsibility but also one carrying expenses students are hard pressed to meet. The purpose of the UHC Excellence Fund is to provide research stipends to eligible students to be used for conducting their senior thesis projects.

How to Help

Supporting Honors students is not difficult. A contribution to the OSU Foundation, noting the UHC Excellence Fund, is all it takes. Among our Honors students may be another Tuneko Okazaki, Linus Pauling, Virginia Woolf or the young professional down the street. With your help, anything is possible. We will all benefit as the students benefit.

If you are excited by the prospect, please direct your contribution to the OSU Foundation – UHC Excellence Fund. If you have questions, contact Mary Ellen McGillin, Oregon State University, Foundation Office, 850 SW 35th Street, Corvallis, 97333; Ph 800.354.7281; OSUFoundation_@_oregonstate.edu.
