Houston resident and OU Club of Houston Life Member Sandra O’Brien was awarded an honorary degree at the University of Oklahoma’s 2008 Commencement Ceremony, held Friday evening, May 11 at the Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

O’Brien, an OU geology alumnus, made a major gift to the campaign to expand and renovate Collings Hall, the college’s home.

She has endowed scholarships for students majoring in special education, and she and her husband were the first donors to endow a Presidential Professorship.
