In May 2008, the Oregon College Savings Plan set a new participation record, far exceeding expectations.

Since adding social media, the Oregon College Savings Plan has increased interest and activity and started an important conversation about education in the state of Oregon, including interviews with education leadership, educators and other stakeholders, celebrating education everywhere in Oregon.

In a recent campaign, the Oregon College Savings Plan saw an impressive opt-in rate of over 40% for more information about the plan.
