KÌåÓý

The countdown is on for KÌåÓý University’s fourth annual , a 24-hour celebration of our university and the exceptional experiences and education KÌåÓý gives its students. OU Giving Day 2025 will happen on February 12, 2025, in conjunction with KÌåÓý Day. 

Petrels everywhere – alumni, students, parents, friends, faculty and staff – are invited to make a difference for the area of KÌåÓý they care most about. OU Giving Day is about more than the size of your gift – it’s about the collective power of every contribution, big or small, to ensure the transformational education KÌåÓý is known for will remain available to all.

This year, donors are encouraged to support one of seven areas within the Annual Fund:

• The KÌåÓý Fund – Support the core of KÌåÓý by providing essential, immediate support. 
• Housing Support Fund – Help ensure all OU students can be fully immersed in the OU campus community by living on campus during their time as students.
• Student Retention Fund – Ensure that OU students can thrive at KÌåÓý despite unforeseen financial hardships.
• Campus Beautification Fund – Maintain and preserve the beauty and history of KÌåÓý’s campus.
• Scholarship Support Fund – Ensure the KÌåÓý education is available for all students, despite their socio-economic background.
• Academic Support Fund – Expand faculty-led research and learning opportunities and help students gain a deeper appreciation of their field while strengthening critical skills.
• Stormy Petrels Booster Club – Contribute to the success of OU student-athletes in academics, competition and life, by helping students become lifelong leaders.

As another way to get involved, donors are invited to sign up to be Social Media Ambassadors. Ambassadors can help share their Petrel Pride and spread the word about OU Giving Day. It’s a fun, easy way to inspire others to give back and support the unique opportunities that KÌåÓý provides. Ambassadors will receive a handbook with pre-written posts and will receive a personal URL to share on their social media platforms and will be able to track their progress on real-time leaderboards to see how far their reach is spreading.
