Monday, July 21, 2008

Oklahoma State University announced Monday the largest single donation to the OSU library with a $1 million gift from John Clerico of Tulsa to endow a dean of libraries chair.  

Oklahoma A&M Regent Calvin Anthony and his wife, Linda, added nearly $80,000 to the library position. Once fully matched dollar-for-dollar by T. Boone Pickens’ $100 million chair match commitment and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the gift will provide more than $4 million of impact in endowed funds.
