To the OSU Campus,
 
Yesterday was truly a historic day for Oklahoma State University.  T. Boone Pickens’ incredible $100 million gift will launch an era of even greater academic excellence at OSU.
 
We sincerely appreciate the thousands from across our campus and the community who attended the announcement and made the event extra special.  We were overwhelmed by the sea of orange; thanks for helping us show how much we appreciate what Mr. Pickens is doing for OSU.
 
I also want to thank the many people who worked extra hard to make the event happen.  I know it took a lot of effort and once again the Cowboy team rose to the occasion and made it an extraordinary day for all of us.
 
I hope you have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend and thanks for all you do for OSU!
