There are simply not enough words to thank each of you for donating to our 90th Anniversary Thousands Strong Campaign for the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education. You nearly tripled our campaign goal with your generous gifts. The walls of our lobby are filled with pennants as an inspiring visual testament to your support of our students and faculty.
We hope you’ll find some time to come by Collings Hall during our anniversary year of 2019 to see the wall of pennants and experience what the college of education is like these days. The weekend of Sept. 27 would be a great time – we’ll have a special event on Friday in our building with food and fun, and then celebrate educators at the OU football game vs. Texas Tech on Saturday, Sept. 28. Please keep an eye on http://ou.edu/education/anniversary for more info.
Most importantly, Toronzo would like to share his thanks to you on behalf of all of our current JRCoE students. Please watch the video and know how much we all appreciate your support.
We are incredibly thankful for the support our alumni and friends have shown thus far. As you can see, our walls are filling up with donor pennants, and we have surpassed our initial goal of our campaign! It’s not too late to add your pennant to the wall. Just imagine how much brighter the future for our students will be if we could double our anniversary campaign goal. We could help twice as many students!
Every donor to the JRCoE 90th anniversary fund will receive a commemorative pennant. Each donor who gives $90 or more will have their pennant hung in Collings Hall for the duration of the 2019 year, as a visual testament to the support our alumni and friends provide for our current students and faculty. Then, each donor will receive their pennant in early 2020 after the conclusion of our 2019 anniversary year.
The college of education at OU was established in 1929. Celebrate this important year with your gift.
$30.90 was a lot of money in 1929, and it still makes a big impact on college of education students today. Continue your advocacy of the importance of education into the next 90 years with your gift.
Support the education scholars of the next 90 years with your gift at this level.
Donors who give at this celebratory level or more will have their pennant hung in Collings Hall, home of the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education, throughout the rest of 2019. We hope to fill the walls of Collings Hall with donor pennants to show support for our current students and inspire them in their journey of moving education forward for the next 90 years. After the conclusion of the 90th anniversary year, pennants will be mailed to the donors.
As we celebrate this milestone, we remember that mentors are timelessly valuable people. Make your gift today so the faculty of the future can continue mentoring future educators.
An investment in the college of education at this level will make a significant impact on students and faculty for the next 90 years, as innovation leads the way.
