On this OU Day of Giving:
We ask that you consider a gift to the following fund:
The Patrick Missodey Memorial Scholarship (MPMMS-OU) Fund was created by Dana Parke in memory of her late host father, whom she says made an indelible impact when she studied abroad in Dakar, Senegal in 2012. “Patrick was more than just my host father, he and (his wife) Yollande had become part of my family,” Parke said. “I always knew I wanted to give back so that other students who do not have the financial means would be able to benefit from similar study abroad experiences. I realized there was no better way to honor Patrick than to establish a scholarship in his memory to support Oakland University students to study abroad in Africa."
CHALLENGE ALERT: If 5 donors support the Patrick Missodey Memorial Scholarship Fund today, it will unlock a generous gift from Dana Parke in the amount of $1,000!
