Giving to the College of Design

You + College of Design = Difference Maker

Oregon Design Ducks (ODD) have been calling the College of Design home for more than 100 years. Thanks to donors and alumni like you, the college inspires, shapes, and supports the college's passionate students and the next generation of designers. 

The College of Design is more than an institution, it’s a synergistic group of designers from multiple disciplines eager to leave their mark on their community and the world. Whether they are a city planner, painter, landscape architect, or art historian, we know our students will make a lasting impact when they join the workforce transitioning from our ODD student to alumni.  At the College of Design we welcome alumni and donors to lead the way to support faculty and students, invest in new ideas, and make a lasting and meaningful impact on business and the world. Our ODDucks are transforming their communities with their unique talents in a range of disciplines.

Award-winning international designers; world-renowned sustainable architects; innovative visual artists; and planning, public, and nonprofit leaders are all part of the College of Design. We are a community of collaborators with the drive for excellence to make the world a beautiful, more prosperous, and materially better place.Together, we can put our compassion to work to build a better UO and a better College of Design. Ask how we can build, together.
