I feel I grew up with the university after starting in 1972 at the age of 27. I also got to meet many students in a more personal way advising Theta Chi Fraternity for 22 years and assisting The Meadow Brook Estate Show Choir. We made many lifelong friendships among fellow university employees and a good part of our social life revolved around the university. For these reasons I want to continue financial support to Oakland University through an annual gift during the AUFD period as well as a generous bequest in our wills.

I have given to OU for over 40 years because I've seen first hand the dedication of the university's faculty and staff to educating and supporting our students and I love being a part of that. I really believe in OU's mission and its commitment to its students and the larger community.
