As part of the fundraising arm of the College, our staff frequently interacts with Oxy’s donors, faculty members, and campus staff. Our Office specifically deals with donors who are considering or intending to include the College in their estate plans (i.e. by will, trust, annuities). Unlike current gifts, these gifts are not realized until the donor’s/s’ death/s. Our responsibility is not only to solicit for these gifts, but to also honor those individuals who have already chosen to benefit the College beyond their lifetime. A student assistant trainee is expected to get to know the office as his/her tasks will relate to its operations.
