Thank You for Helping Business Ducks Flourish

Ducks don’t just fly—they flourish. And thanks to you, business students have even more opportunities for a brighter future. 

This year, during our annual day of giving, we marked a decade of Ducks Give, the University of Oregon’s move to the Big Ten, a new home for UO Portland, and more. And through it all, you showed up with 155 gifts totaling more than half a million dollars, exemplifying the power of our community when we come together.

Your generosity helped plant the seeds for student success across the Lundquist College of Business. Whether you gave $10 or $10,000, your support made a real impact—fueling scholarships, career readiness, and hands-on learning experiences that help Ducks thrive.

From all of us at the Lundquist College of Business—thank you for helping us cultivate the next generation of business leaders. Amazing things happen when Ducks support Ducks.
