It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Osun State University Advancement Webpage.
Osun State University Advancement Office is established to seek the support of stakeholders (Philanthropists, Alumni, Companies, Organizations, Foundations, Government Agencies, Royal Fathers, Community Leaders, Parents, Staff, Students and the general public) both within and outside the country to enhance the quality of academic and research works with a view to building stronger relationships and fruitful partnerships with donors/investors which would translate into a broad support base for the sustainable growth of the Osun State University.
There is no gainsaying the fact that Governments (both at the Federal and State levels) can no longer effectively fund education in Nigeria due to the dwindling national resources. The Advancement Office is therefore established to source additional funds from corporate and individual sources.
PROJECT AT HAND
The Advancement Board is currently handling the construction of the dualisation of the 1.2km access road to the University.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plans/Projections of the Advancement are to:
- create a dynamic content management system website solution for the Alumni and Advancement Office that can provide the necessary platform for alumni members to register, update their records with features such as: Social Stream, User Profile Management, Photo and Video Gallery, Events Manager, User Groups, Privacy Control, Private Messaging System and Facebook Connect as well as a platform for online donations from parents, staff, Alumni, private, public sectors and agencies both within and outside country.
- make frantic efforts to raise 200,000 friends who can support the institution, on yearly basis, with a minimum donation of five thousand naira (N5,000.00) that will yield one billion naira (N1 billion).
- promote staff giving, encourage students giving and parents giving
- regular publication and circulation of Alumni Newsletters, of e-bulletin
