Oles Can. Oles Will.
Through our comprehensive fundraising campaign, more than 25,000 donors committed $252.24 million to support life on the Hill — far surpassing our $200 million goal. Um! Yah! Yah! Thank you!
“The impact is far-reaching, driven by the commitment Oles have to excellence, service, and community.” — President David R. Anderson ‘74

Reopening Plan
As we return to campus, all Oles have an important part to play in keeping our entire community healthy and safe. As individuals we may not feel at risk, but we each need to act to protect those around us. As Oles, we care deeply about our community. We can do this together.

Oles don’t all look alike or think alike, but what they do share is an enthusiasm. An optimism. A work ethic driven by the knowledge that anything is possible, the answer to every problem is yes, that what’s broken needs fixing, what’s working can be improved. Oles think harder, dive deeper.
