General naming opportunities available on NSU campuses

As part of its fundraising Centennial Campaign, Northeastern State University is availing various naming opportunities to donors on all its campuses.

Depending on the contribution amount, donors can receive naming rights to a memorial bench or an entire college.

The state of Oklahoma matches endowment donations of $25,000 - $124,999 for lectureships, $125,000 - $249,999 for professorships and $250,000 - $500,000 for chairs.

According to John Gyllin, director of the NSU Foundation, general naming opportunity amounts are recommendations intended to give donors an estimate and do not prohibit negotiation.

"We've put the numbers to paper so people can get an idea of the figures were talking about," he said. But, we want to have discussions with anyone interested in making a naming contribution."
