About

CELEBRATE OHIO THROUGH THE ERAS

Today, we celebrate all Ohio University has been and is, by giving to the funds that matter most to you and to current and future Bobcats. Together, we can ensure OHIO’s next era is the best one yet. Because no matter which era of Ohio University you attended, we’re all Forever OHIO.


We know so many of our alumni and friends love reflecting on their OHIO memories. We’re excited to take you back on a fun and nostalgic journey—from past incarnations of our beloved Rufus to brand new eras-themed squirrels, while acting forward by enabling the experiences and opportunities that support current and future students. Join us, and tell your fellow Bobcats!


And yes, we’re still in our squirrel naming era: you’ll have one more opportunity to name one of our fluffy fraternal friends this year, only on Giving Day!


OHIO Giving Day 2025: Let your memories guide your giving.
