Finishing Strong!

November 29, 2021
WOW! Thanks to a generous $15k donation(!) from Patty and Lawrence Walker, we only need to raise $1,500 more to reach our $20k goal. Raising this amount will enable us to run an overnight geoscience camp for middle and high school students from across Oklahoma, particularly rural Oklahoma. We are so close and the fundraiser ends TOMORROW on #GivingTuesday. Please consider making a gift today.
Alumni and friends come in all different shapes and sizes, just like our favorite rocks. Luckily, there are giving levels to reflect those different sizes! Might we suggest a donation equal to the number of points scored in our bedlam win (37)?!
Thank you to all of our generous donors who have already given especially the Walkers. You made this possible and you will bring geology to so many young minds. The website will be updated to reflect these gifts and the remaining gap. Let’s celebrate the success of others by finishing strong!

One More Week! Let's Meet Our Goal!

November 23, 2021

Due to the continuing generosity of our donors, we broke our 30% goal, and are 33% of the way to fully funding Geosciences Camp for underserved middle and high school students across Oklahoma! We have ONE week left of our Philanthropete Campaign, and every share and dollar makes a difference. 

The Boone Pickens School of Geology (BPSoG) are committed and focused on geoscience education for the next generation and community building. Not only is our school well-equipped and prepared to tackle global modern environmental and geoscience problems impacting our every day lives, but who else is better to show the advantages of a geology degree from OSU than Pokes themselves? 

Luckily, there are granular giving levels for donations of all grain sizes. By donating to Geosciences Camp, you are supporting us in our endeavors to prepare the next generation of scientists, engage with underserved students across Oklahoma, and build a community of up-and-coming geoscientists. 

Thank you, we appreciate your support and cannot do this without you!  Go Pokes!

3% down, can you help us reach 15% this week?

November 08, 2021

Due to the generosity of our donors, we are 3% of the way to reaching our goal to provide Geosciences Camp to underserved middle and high school students across Oklahoma. We'd like to increase this percentage to 15% this week!

Today is National STEM Day, where people are encouraged to explore their interests in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. However, approximately 15% of STEM majors wind up dropping out during their first year.  Can you help us reach 15% of our goal this week, so we can work towards bringing Geosciences Camp to students across Oklahoma, and bridge the STEM gap?

We are committed and focused on engaging in geoscience education for the next generation of scientists, we just need YOUR HELP to make it happen! 

Thank you, we appreciate your support!
