The world’s greatest health challenges aren’t patiently waiting to be solved. Consider the COVID-19 pandemic, the worldwide mental health crisis, and the rise of key determinants of health such as homelessness, poverty, malnutrition, and inequity. 

Right here at Oregon State University’s College of Health, leading experts in all areas of health are solving these and other complex challenges. Our faculty, students, and staff are champions for change in Oregon, across the United States, and indeed throughout the world. Backed by science, community engagement, and over a century of experience tackling urgent challenges, the College of Health has preeminence that has never been more vital.

We are one of the only colleges in the nation that combine public health, nutrition, exercise and sport science, and human development under the same academic home. We also have one of the strongest community-outreach systems in the country for a health-related College. Our embedded Family and Community Health Extension program collaborates directly with systems, families, and communities to prevent health problems, develop solutions, and advocate for their own health. 

By making a gift to the College of Health today, you are ensuring excellence in health education, research, and innovation.
