  1. Even college students can spare $20.07. That’s only $1.67 a month
     
  2. Get in the habit of alumni giving early.
     
  3. Let’s beat the Class of 2006 and set a high bar for the Class of 2008!
     
  4. If you give now, the senior class agents won’t pester you for your gift all year long!
     
  5. Honor parents, family members, friends or professors with a gift and you’ll get your name in the commencement program twice.
     
  6. Annual giving helps increase OU’s national ranking, therefore increasing the value of our degrees. (That’s important if you want to hang your diploma on your office wall)

  7. Maybe our money could go towards building a Chick-fil-A on campus. Okay, it’s a good idea in theory…

  8. It’s tax-deductible—hey, every little bit helps.
     
  9. You can rest better thinking, “Gosh, I did something really great today by making a charitable contribution to my alma mater.”

  10. Gifts from alumni, parents and friends have made our education possible—let’s thank then with our gifts.
