The Halligan Hall of Scholars located on the second floor of the Student Union is dedicated to OSU undergraduate students, and their faculty mentors, who have won various prestigious national and international scholarship competitions.

 

First opened to commemorate OSU's selection as a Truman Honor Institution in 2000, the space was designed by Rick Bartholomew, OSU College of Human Environmental Sciences, with funding made possible by alumnus Dr. James Whiteneck and his wife, Carol. 

 

Later, OSU graduates Jim and Barbara Carreker made another substantial gift to support Scholar Development programs and recognize President Jim and Ann Halligan.  We are thankful for our generous donors and for the talented individuals who challenge themselves and bring recognition to OSU with their scholarship and leadership.
