The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma’s fourth annual Giving Day exceeded its goal of $100,000, raising a grand total of $108,013.

“It’s remarkable to see so many people stepping forward to support USAO. We are a small university, but the devotion that our supporters show is significant,” said JP Audas, director of development. “Giving Day was a group effort from the entire USAO family. We reached our goal thanks to the steadfast commitment and loyalty of our faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends.

“This is always a special event at USAO because it gives all of us the chance to celebrate the university and witness generosity, gratitude and the power of education.”
