Parent's Campaign

Parents realize that students learn both inside and outside of the classroom. In fact, for every hour spent in the classroom, OU students spend four hours in informal gatherings, such as studying, visiting, or exercising, which contribute to their intellectual and emotional growth.

That’s why many OU parents believe it’s important to support these activities through the annual Parents Campaign. Each year, this campaign raises approximately $200,000 to support extracurricular activities and other programs that enrich students’ OU experiences, as well as benefit their lives after college.

To participate in the campaign, indicate “Parents Fund” at the “Make a Gift” site.
