Why I Give

Ron Norick
鈥淲hen I enrolled at OCU in 1960, my educational skills were less than average, and if I was going to be successful, I would need guidance. That help came to me through Dean Willis Wheat, the Business School dean. He not only mentored me, but he cared about me as a person. I graduated in 1964 from the Business School, making the dean鈥檚 honor roll, which in 1960 would have seemed impossible. Because of his kindness, Dean Wheat and I became lifelong friends, talking often until his passing. The small class sizes and the individual attention given to not only me but to all students by the professors is OCU鈥檚 strongest asset.
鈥淢y mother and grandmother were both artists and appreciated the professors for their skills but realized the art school at OCU needed to be replaced for the benefit of the staff and students. Because of their love for the graphic arts, that鈥檚 the reason the Norick family has always supported OCU鈥檚 art school.鈥�

鈥淚 give to help defray the costs for students. I鈥檓 a first-generation college student. I know it鈥檚 harder nowadays to get financial aid from the federal government. We鈥檒l get students we鈥檙e trying to recruit who don鈥檛 have the means themselves, and without scholarships, it鈥檚 tough to get them to come here. If we had more in our scholarship fund鈥攊f we could give out a lot more鈥攚e could guarantee students would be here. That's why I give.鈥�

A fixture at nearly every OCU game, match, or meet, Paul and Kim Sanders love seeing鈥攁nd hearing from鈥攖he student-athletes they support. Each varsity team benefits from the Sanders鈥� annual financial contributions, but they also serve as OCU鈥檚 biggest fans. The small-school setting and rich athletic tradition are a perfect mixture of personal connections and shared celebrations. 鈥淲e enjoy providing support, not only through our donations, but also just being at their events,鈥� said Kim, a 1969 School of Business graduate. 鈥淧aul especially enjoys visiting with them, and we always feel closer reading so many wonderful notes of thanks and the in-person thanks we get.鈥�
