OU Giving Day: Make a Lasting Impact on Public Health

Each year, the OU Family unites for OU Giving Day—a 24-hour celebration of generosity that helps bring big ideas and even bigger dreams to life across campus. Today, April 8, the Hudson College of Public Health invites you to be part of the movement and make a lasting difference for our students, faculty, and the communities we serve.

Why Give to Public Health?

Public health is more critical now than ever before. At the Hudson College of Public Health, we are educating the next generation of public health leaders, researchers, and practitioners who will improve lives in Oklahoma and around the world. But we can't do it without your support.

Your gift on OU Giving Day helps provide:

• Scholarships for students who will become tomorrow’s changemakers

• Opportunities to attend national conferences and represent OU on a larger stage

• Hands-on research experiences alongside world-class faculty

These experiences prepare our students for impactful careers and drive innovation in the field of public health.
