ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN

How Annual Fund Gifts Are Used

Annual Fund gifts, which count toward the Renewing the Vision campaign, support a number of projects that benefit alumni, students and faculty. These include Excellence magazine, Homecoming, nationwide city events, ORU Alumni Connection luncheons for Tulsa-area alumni, graduation Bibles, the annual Faculty Retreat, faculty service awards, online resources for alumni (including the alumni online community), local events (like a concert in the Prayer Gardens), alumni parent on-campus events, monthly mailings and e-newsletters for alumni, Alumni Board of Directors meetings, student recruitment, Career Services and academic department assistance, and alumni address updating (so departments can keep in touch with their alumni).
