Meet Tom Marriott, Advisory Council Member for the College of Arts and Sciences, a former PhD student at CAS and a volunteer at the UO for nearly 20 years.

Tom and his wife both attended the UO for graduate school and now they give back by providing scholarships for individual students; they even helped to create the original branding for CAS.

“Both my wife and I hope that our providing money for scholarships to individual students will inspire them to give back in the long run when they're financially able to," Marriott says.

On May 7, the UO community came together to celebrate the reopening of two iconic spaces on campus. After two years of thoughtful renovation, Villard and University Hall are ready to inspire a new generation of Ducks. With donor support and a special appreciation to the design and construction teams, Fortis Construction and Hennebery Eddy Architects, these buildings are symbolic of what it means to preserve our past while powering what’s next. 💚

Through mentorship, community-building, shared learning, and collective giving, SCO is creating a space where women can lead together and spark meaningful change across the UO and beyond.

"She Champions Oregon brings together women whose passion and generosity will help shape the University of Oregon's future." — Melissa Scholz, Founding Advisory Council Leader.
