OUR FRIENDS

The “Friends of the School of Architecture” campaign is a way for alumni to annually share their appreciation for the education received at the OSU School of Architecture, and help pave the way for the next generation of young professionals. A gift of $1000 or more benefits student programs and allows us to enhance the daily operations of the school. A gift of $5000 or more can support two student scholarships for an academic year, or a special program. These are all very important gifts. A gift of greater than $25,000 can create a new endowment to assist the School as directed by the donor.

In this academic year, alumni giving funded the following:

• FOUR new fund agreements that were fully endowed - wow! Each of these funds is directed towards providing scholarship support for students, in perpetuity;

• Sponsorship of educational field trips - OSU Architecture sent a student team to compete in the national Solar Decathlon in Denver this Spring, and a NOMAS contingency to compete in the student design competition in Nashville last Fall. Additionally, the entire Steel II class was sponsored to attend the Oklahoma Structural Engineering Association annual conference;

• Assistance with the fifth year Urban Studio field trip to NYC!

• Support for graduation receptions honoring those who complete our degrees (yay!);

• And any number of moments when we’ve needed this or that to improve the quality of the experience for students in our school. These are just a few of the many impacts of giving to the School of Architecture - THANK YOU!

In gifts for this academic year (since July 1, 2022), the following
