Goodwin has been named one of two 2013 recipients of the CASE Commonfund Institutionally Related Foundation Award. He will receive the award on April 18 at the annual CASE conference for this group of foundations. This prestigious award recognizes professionals who have made extraordinary contributions to the advancement, quality, and effectiveness of their foundations and the sector.

OSU President Ray received the 2013 Leadership Award from CASE District VIII at its annual conference earlier this month. See this LIFE@OSU story for more details. It is rare for both a university president and the CEO of a university foundation to receive top honors in the same year, according to CASE president John Lippincott.

Here is a list of CASE District VIII awards received by OSU at the conference this month. OSU was the second-most honored institution at the conference, according to Michelle Williams of the OSU Foundation.

President Ed Ray has received an award for his leadership.

Edward J. Ray, president of Oregon State University, has been named the 2013 Leadership Award honoree by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District VIII, the CASE VIII Board has announced.

CASE is a leading international professional association serving educational institutions and the advancement professionals who work on their behalf in alumni relations, communications, development, marketing and other areas.

“The CASE District VIII Recognition Program celebrates exemplary achievement in the field of advancement by member institutions,” said Cheryl Nations, chair of the CASE VIII Board of Directors. “On behalf of the board I congratulate Dr. Ray for his outstanding leadership and his commitment to higher education. He exemplifies the standards by which we compare our work, and educate and inspire ourselves to greater success.”

Ray, who became president of Oregon State University in 2003, has led OSU through the creation of a strategic plan, re-organization of the academic colleges and the launching of the university’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign. To date, donors have committed more than $868 million, more than has been raised in any fundraising campaign in the state’s history.

Under his leadership, OSU has seen record enrollment, substantial increases in annual research awards, which totaled $262 million in 2011, and unprecedented growth in tenure-track faculty, with more than 100 faculty hires in the last two years.

“Dr. Ray embodies a rare combination of traits, possessing the acuity and practicality grounded in his background in economics, paired with a tremendous heart for the OSU family, for education and for Oregon,” said J. Michael Goodwin, President & CEO of the OSU Foundation.

In addition to his institutional leadership, Ray is a national and statewide leader in support of higher education. He is immediate past chair of the NCAA’s Executive Committee, chair of the PAC-12 CEO Executive Group, and serves as a board member of the American Association of Colleges and Universities. As the senior president in the Oregon University System, he is leading statewide discussions regarding how public universities are governed in Oregon.

“Dr. Ray has clearly established himself as an influential community and academic leader, a risk-taking visionary, and an inspirational role model,” said Jill W. Eiland, vice president of the State Board of Higher Education and Northwest region corporate affairs manager for Intel Corporation, in a letter supporting Ray’s nomination. “My admiration continues to grow as I watch him in action and count his many accomplishments. He is a tireless advocate for students and investments in the higher education system.”

Ray will receive his award at the 2013 CASE District VIII Conference in Portland, Ore., on Feb. 15, 2013, during the Professional Awards Luncheon.
