The Gold Star Society
The Gold Star name dates back to the mid-1950s, when OCU built the Gold Star Building to honor members of our community who gave their lives in World War II. That legacy lives on today as students touch the Gold Star sculpture at matriculation and again at graduation—signifying both remembrance and transformation.
The Gold Star Society recognizes donors who leave a lasting legacy through planned gifts, ensuring that OCU remains strong for future generations. Like the Gold Star itself, these gifts are a symbol of sacrifice, vision, and enduring impact.
