Former OSU wrestler endows animal science professorship through estate gift
Friday, June 27, 2008
OSU received a $250,000 gift through the charitable remainder trust of Tulsa alumnus
George Chiga to establish a professorship focused on beef cattle production and beef
cattle genetics. Once fully matched dollar-for-dollar by T. Boone Pickens’ $100 million
chair match commitment, as well as the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education,
the gift will provide $1 million of impact in endowed funds.
“George Chiga was a wonderful ambassador and supporter of OSU and we sincerely appreciate
everything he and his family have done for the university,” said OSU President Burns
Hargis. “This professorship will enhance OSU’s beef cattle contributions to our state
and our world.”
