President Bailey’s Video Update for January 2026
January 20, 2026
Enrollment and retention – that’s the mantra at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø, and those are the topics of this month’s video message from ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø President Rick Bailey. The state of Oregon provides about $30 million per year in funding for ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø, and the university generates about $282 million annually in economic activity – $9 for every dollar invested by the state. The university keeps that engine humming – and maintains or increases the state’s investment – by increasing the number of students it serves, and by giving those students reasons to remain at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø through graduation. President Bailey introduces the “ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø Raider Influencer Card,â€� which has a QR code on the back that allows the holder of the card to waive the fee to apply at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø. “It’s all about customer service,â€� he says. Then there’s the “Lollypop Momentâ€� – lollypops with QR codes that enable students to give feedback via a Google Document for great interactions with faculty or staff members. “Project Architectâ€� is the ongoing initiative that aims to bump up both enrollment and retention at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø, through the mindful and daily efforts of all campus community members.
