OSU Student Foundation
The OSU Student Foundation was created in 2007, incorporating its design from several highly successful student foundation organizations across the country. After seeing a need for increased student interaction with donors and alumni, the OSU Foundation created StuFu. Our students serve as ambassadors of the Foundation, participating in Foundation events and using their talents to thank those who have chosen to invest in OSU's bright future.

Purpose StuFu acts as a bridge connecting the student body, community, donors and the OSU Foundation. |
Mission
A philanthropic focused student organization that strives to support the mission and purpose of the OSU Foundation as its student face through service to build relationships with donors and to share the impact of giving.
Committees
Focused on campus promotions, Cowboy Spirit, donor relations, freshman involvement and membership, StuFu committees give members an inside glimpse into the entire philanthropic process. Each committee has its own responsibilities and goals, but all work together to advance and achieve StuFu's purpose.
The Executive Committee is responsible for setting the goals of StuFu. It meets regularly to evaluate each member of the Student Foundation and organize the Student Foundation’s bi-weekly general meetings. The executive committee consists of the president, vice president and committee chairpersons.
The Campus Promotions Committee is responsible for coordinating events for students and the OSU community in order to increase communication, education and enthusiasm within the student body about charitable giving.
The Cowboy Spirit Committee is responsible for coordinating all aspects of the annual Cowboy Spirit scholarship campaign. It works with all other StuFu committees to ensure all goals for the campaign are met.
The Donor Relations Committee is responsible for establishing and maintaining a good rapport between members of StuFu and members of the OSU Foundation. It works directly with the OSU Foundation development staff to build, cultivate and sustain donor relationships.
The Freshman Committee is responsible for bringing creativity to the organization. It participates and cooperates with all StuFu committees to develop and execute projects and initiatives that will add value to the organization.
The Membership Committee is responsible for providing vision and coordination for StuFu. It develops and coordinates recruitment activities, member orientation and internal relations while maintaining member morale and enthusiasm.
