Helping to make the experience of such an education possible for amazingly talented students who just don’t have the gift of being born into generational wealth is so important.
David Stewart ’92
My grandpa’s spirit of giving was what inspired me. Oxy definitely gave me more than I’ve given it so far, but I want to at least pay back what I got from the College.
