Evening of Excellence
Because of COVID-19, the 2021 Evening of Excellence gala, normally held each January, has been canceled. However, the OU College of Medicine Alumni Association, which hosts the event, plans for the event to return in 2022.
Evening of Excellence, which has been held for 36 years, raises funds for researchers in the College of Medicine. The Alumni Association awards grants each year, mostly in the form of seed grants to early career researchers. The grants allow them to grow their research and gather data that they will then use to apply for larger federal grants.
Since Evening of Excellence began, it has raised $5.7 million, and the Alumni Association has awarded $3.6 million in research grants. For more information about the event, or to donate toward research, visit. medicine.ouhsc.edu/eoe.
