The entire Oklahoma State University community was shocked and deeply saddened this
week by the sudden loss of OSU graduate, long-time donor and dear friend M.B. “Bud”
Seretean. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to his family and many friends. A carpet
industry pioneer, successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, Seretean was one of
the nation’s leading advocates of healthy living. Bud was one of our school’s biggest
benefactors, helping establish both the Seretean Center for the Performing Arts and
the Seretean Wellness Center. He also provided student scholarships and has been
giving to OSU golf since 1973.
