Although this campaign has ended, you can still make a gift to the Yeats-Smith-Nance Geology Field Camp Endowment by using the Give to Ohio University donation page. Thank you, and Go Bobcats!
The campaign supporting Geological Sciences hit 80 donors, which means ALL $8,000 from Pat Jackson and Chick McCormick was unlocked! Thank you! These unlocked dollars will benefit the Yeats-Smith-Nance Geology Field Camp Endowment.
The campaign total is now over $58,000! These are dollars that support students and field training. Thank you, everyone, for your generous gifts — you're so gneiss!
Checks that were mailed in December and January pushed the campaign over the finish line!
Thanks again for your support — you rock!
Go Bobcats!
Information above was updated by Jim Harris on March 27 after a formal review of all giving to Geological Sciences was completed. Unfortunately, incorrect numbers were published on this page (and on the main Description page) until the review was completed and numbers were corrected.
Now's a great time to see if your employer has a matching gift program: we've already received gifts from Shell and BP which matched alumni employees' gifts to the endowment. Some companies will even match retirees' giving!
Wouldn't it feel great to learn that your $300 gift to the endowment could be matched by your employer, giving it the impact of $600 (if matched $1-for-$1)!
See OHIO's Employer Matching Gifts page for a search tool. If you don't see results for your employer, they might not have a matching policy on record. Ask about gift matching to see if amplifying your donation is an option for you.
Here's how alumni can support their Geological Sciences Department so all of Pat Jackson's and Chick McCormick's unlocking gifts can be claimed:
