About

You don't get to 150 years of excellence and exploration by accident. The Hill is enriched every year by current students, a 40,000-strong alumni community of Oles, a globally engaged mindset, and a clear commitment to academic excellence.


As we start to close the chapter on year 150, make a gift to help Oles finish this year strong and set them up for success in year 151. 

Oles build for the future with you at their side. One gift at a time, One Ole at a time.
