summertime @ ORU ... and beyond

The campus is ALIVE with the sounds of summer school, sports camps, construction, and building updates. Roofs are being replaced on Michael Cardone Hall and Frances Cardone Hall, and Wesley Luehring Hall is being converted--temporarily--into a women's residence that will be known as Susie North.

Here in the Alumni Relations office, we are hard at work--making plans for the Legacy Parent Luncheon on Aug. 14, the Aug. 22 Wingbackers Kick-Off, the Sept. 6  Alumni & Community Luncheon, and HOMECOMING!

We hope you will join us on Nov. 10 and 11 as we UNITE for Homecoming. The schedule includes Eli Talks, luncheons, open houses, tours of the Global Learning Center, a pre-game party, and men's basketball vs. Avila. The very popular Coffee, Cocoa and Canvas is coming back, and pending completion, you might have an opportunity to run on ORU's new track at the ONEOK Sports Complex!

At the Saturday-night banquet, we will honor four alumni with the 2017 Alumnus of the Year awards:

• Bill Hull '69, Distinguished Service to God
• Larry Derstine '79, Distinguished Service to the Community
• Mary (Edwards) Banks '80, Distinguished Service to the Alma Mater
• Jeff Lippencott '87, Distinguished Service "In Every Person's World"

Registration will go live soon, so watch for it!

reaching for the 50th anniversary campaign's stretch goal

With almost $51 million received in gifts and pledges, we are now working hard to reach the $55 million
stretch goal. Thank you to everyone who has helped us make so much progress in the past three years. 

Please click HERE to make a gift that will bless ORU students today while providing a strong foundation
 for THE NEXT 50 YEARS!

Read more about the campaign's components. 

This is the status of some of our campaign projects:

• The Global Learning Center opened in January -- debt-free.
• The ONEOK Sports Complex opens this fall -- debt-free.
• More funds are needed for Quest Whole Person Scholarships.
• Reaching the $55 million stretch goal and securing a lead gift and other contributions will enable us
  to build the new three-story apartment-style residence.
