Alumni and Private Giving
Many people can reflect on experiences, classes, and programs that influenced and enhanced their development as leaders. The UO is nationally recognized for research, education, and athletics. Our students make wonderful contributions to our community, society, and world.The Holden Leadership Center was created in 2005 to expand UO leadership opportunities and aid students in their development as successful citizens. Over the past year the HLC has worked closely with campus and community experts to design a comprehensive slate of programs and services, including the UO Leadership Summit, The World Series of Leadership, President’s Leadership Symposium, and Oregon LeaderShape. Support from UO alumni and other individual community members help create and maintain high quality programs that support leadership education at the UO.
These funds are a welcome addition to limited support already in place through general UO funds, student fees, and grants. The more this department’s efforts are underwritten through such external funding sources, the lower are the fees that students pay for participation in such programs. Your contribution truly makes a difference in the lives of our students.
If you are interested in supporting leadership education at the UO, please contact John Duncan at 541-346-3701 or via email.
