Southwestern Oklahoma State University with locations in Weatherford, Sayre and Yukon has received a generous philanthropic investment from Oklahoma City-based Delaware Resources Group and the Busey Family.
SWOSU officials say DRG and the Buseys are longtime SWOSU benefactors. This major gift of $65,000 will provide much-needed support for both the General Thomas P. Stafford Scholars Program and the Busey Brothers Scholarship Program.
DRG is a Native American-owned leading global aerospace defense contractor based in Oklahoma City.
The SWOSU Stafford Scholars Program was established in 1992 as an experiential learning initiative. The Stafford Scholars Program was endowed by General Thomas P. Stafford in what was, at that time, SWOSU’s largest-ever single charitable gift and has evolved and grown to become an unparalleled collaborative partnership between SWOSU and the General Thomas P. Stafford Air & Space Museum.

In a letter addressed to the Southwestern Oklahoma State University community, President Randy Beutler expressed his support of getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
In part, Beutler said that he encourages everyone to be aware of how the vaccine is being distributed in Oklahoma, and also encourages any out-of-state student to research their state’s plan of distribution.
Beutler also said in the letter to adhere to the medical experts’ advice and to get the vaccination as soon as it is available.
He also still encouraged all students to continue to practice safety precautions to prevent contracting and spreading COVID-19 during the holiday break.
