Journal Record, The (Oklahoma City), Jul 10, 2008
Oklahoma State University on Wednesday announced a $1 million gift from Continental Resources of Enid to create a petroleum engineering chair at OSU.
Harold Hamm is chairman and CEO of Continental Resources. The gift will create the Continental Resources Chair in Petroleum Engineering.
OSU also announced a $250,000 donation from three agriculture- based organizations for an endowed professorship in soil and food crop nutrition.
The three groups participating in the donation were the Nutrients for Life Foundation, the Fertilizer Institute and the International Plant Nutrition Institute.
The gift was given before a June 30 deadline, which means that under a matching program for gifts for endowed chairs that is now on hold, the state will match the gift dollar-for-dollar.
OSU also announced a $300,000 joint gift from the Oklahoma Wheat Commission and the Oklahoma Wheat Research Foundation to bolster funding for the organizations' currently funded wheat genetics research chair at OSU.
Each of the donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar by T. Boone Pickens' $100 million chair match commitment as well as the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
