Beaver Football scores for students

Dutch Bros Coffee, led by President and CEO Joth Ricci, ’90, is helping OSU kick off this year’s Beavers Fight Hunger effort – an initiative that brings Beavers everywhere together to support students facing food insecurity and the OSU food pantry. For every point the Beavs football team scores, Dutch Bros will make a gift -- enough to feed a single student for a month. You, too, can join in the fight by making a gift today and promoting this initiative to your networks on Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving on Nov. 30.

Turn up your tailgate to the max

The biggest game all year can’t come soon enough. Gear up for your Rivalry game tailgate with downloadable wallpapers for your phone and Beaver-approved recipes (hint: Duck is on the menu)!

We want to see how you’re getting ready for the game — connect and tag us in your Rivalry Week posts on Facebook and Twitter (@oregonstatealum) and Instagram (@oregonstatealumni).
