Bushnell University has officially launched its $36 million Venture Further campaign with more than $11 million already committed, including a historic $1 million gift from the Oregon Community Credit Union (OCCU) Foundation!
The largest one-time corporate foundation gift in Bushnellβs history will support the development of the OCCU Foundation Healthcare Simulation Center, providing state-of-the-art, hands-on learning experiences for students in the College of Health Professions.

With an overall fundraising goal of $36 million, we are incredibly grateful to announce that Venture Further is launching with over $11 million already raised, made possible through the generous support of our alumni, friends, and university partners.

It`s National Transfer Student Week, and we`re celebrating the amazing transfer students who have joined our Bushnell family!
We recently caught up with Aidan Bolton, a new transfer student studying psychology with a focus on forensics, to hear about his experience at Bushnell so far:
βBushnell has been exceptionally welcoming. From students to faculty, to classrooms or student life, the people at Bushnell have shown me what it feels like to live in a Christ-centered community. This is a place where I feel like I can belong, with people who help me to be the best version of myself."
We`re grateful for Aidan and all our transfer students, along with the families who support them throughout their journeys!
