Faculty and staff donate $57,800 on the first day of the All-University Fund Drive (AUFD). The drive will run through Dec. 12 and aims to raise more than last year's $363,000 total for student scholarships and research. |
And each year, members of the OU community go above and beyond by giving to the All-University Fund Drive (AUFD). Faculty and staff are able to fund their passion at Oakland by directing gifts to the program of their choice, or make a gift to the area of greatest need: the OU Fund. New this year, donors can now create a named scholarship with a contribution starting at just $1,000.
The 2014 fund drive kicked off on Monday, Sept. 29 with $57,800 in contributions from 88 faculty and staff donors. The drive will run through December 12, aiming to raise more than last year’s $363,000 total.
OU President George W. Hynd will match every faculty and staff member gift by 50 percent up to $2,500.
“Your gift matters to Oakland students, and I want it to help make it matter all the more,” said Hynd.
