Gold Star Society
Just as the Gold Star Building memorializes those from our Oklahoma City University community who lost their lives in service to our country, the Gold Star Society recognizes those who have made everlasting gifts to the future of Oklahoma City University
The Gold Star Society represents the past, present and future of Oklahoma City University. The Gold Star Society honors alumni, donors and individuals who have chosen to support the university by including Oklahoma City University, regardless of the amount, through a deferred or estate gift.
Your legacy gift can transform Oklahoma City University in a variety of ways. You may wish to establish a scholarship to assist a deserving student; establish an endowed chair or professorship to enable the university to attract and retain outstanding faculty; support a program or project in the academic unit of your choice; or direct your gift to be used where the need is greatest.
