Oak Circle

Each year, DU undergraduates are encouraged to give back through the Oak Circle—the Foundation’s undergraduate giving program. Hundreds of undergraduates join the Oak Circle each year with a gift of $18.34 to the Oak Circle endowment, and the dollars raised are given directly back to students through scholarships to our award-winning educational programs.

MCKEAG AWARD WINNERS

The McKeag Award is presented annually to recognize chapters for their members’ contributions to the Oak Circle. This award is named for Brother David McKeag, Minnesota ’04, who was instrumental in ensuring the Oak Circle was a success in the Club’s early years.

Congratulations to the Wichita Chapter for sweeping the McKeag Awards with 24 donors and 67% of the chapter making a gift.

This was a record year of giving for the Oak Circle with $3,228 received from 163 undergraduate donors.
