On November 28, the Oglethorpe community demonstrated their collective commitment and dedication to OU by giving back to the university on GivingTuesday 2023.<\/p>\n
Alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff made gifts to the funds that were meaningful to them. Gifts large and small came together to make a collective impact of more than $14,200, breaking last year\u2019s GivingTuesday record!<\/p>\n
Understanding the importance of supporting Oglethorpe\u2019s greatest needs, many donors from across the country designated their gifts to this essential fund. It was an inspiring showing of generosity and philanthropy from the OU community.<\/p>\n
Equally inspiring was the number of individuals who helped spread the word and encouraged others to get involved and donate to Oglethorpe on GivingTuesday! By sharing information about OU with their networks, they helped to play a vital role in OU\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
Donations made to Oglethorpe on GivingTuesday will work to help empower current and future Petrels to be leaders in our society and help students achieve incredible things. Every day when donors invest in Oglethorpe, they are helping to ensure that Oglethorpe can continue to provide enriching educational experiences and maintain high academic standards as students pursue their passions and explore their interests.<\/p>\n
