Oklahoma State University came together to honor the legendary Boone Pickens, the Ultimate Cowboy.
Mr. Pickens passed away Sept. 11, 2019 at the age of 91. He was a captain of industry and a record-setting philanthropist whose success in the energy field led to a transformative impact on OSU.
The 1951 graduate of OSU’s School of Geology, now the Boone Pickens School of Geology, gave a combined $652 million to the university during his lifetime, split evenly between athletics and academics.
