A consummate Cowgirl who has shown unwavering devotion to Oklahoma State University,
Anne Greenwood will join six others in the Oklahoma Hall of Fame’s 97th class, which
will be inducted at a Nov. 14 ceremony at the Oklahoma City Convention Center.
“The honorees included in this year’s class are shining examples of Oklahoma’s excellence
and commitment to serving others,” said Shannon L. Rich, Oklahoma Hall of Fame president
and CEO. “Their remarkable achievements and unwavering dedication to their fields
serve as a testament to the unlimited potential that Oklahomans provide, inspiring
generations to come.”
Greenwood served in several roles during her 30-year corporate accounting career.
After retirement, she turned her passion for philanthropy into a second career, focusing
on improving access to higher education and elevating the performing arts.
Greenwood has received numerous honors and awards in recognition of her overwhelming
generosity and support, including induction into the OSU Hall of Fame and the OSU Spears School of Business Hall of Fame, receiving an OSU Honorary Doctor of Letters degree and being named Philanthropist of the Year by Women for OSU.
Greenwood and her husband, Michael, have served their alma mater in countless way,
playing key roles in several major facility updates on the OSU campus, including the
Edmon Low Library’s Anne Morris Greenwood Reading Room, Wesley Center Student Activity
Hall, Greenwood Center for Online Excellence, Greenwood Tennis Center, The McKnight Center for the Performing Arts and the Greenwood School of Music.
The Greenwoods believe every student should have access to higher education and have
supported numerous scholarships spanning all disciplines of study, as well.
“Mike and Anne are tremendous benefactors who are deeply committed to the success
of Oklahoma State University and the individual students they impact each year. Anne
especially takes joy in their philanthropy; She and Mike are eager to inspire others
to boldly make a difference,” OSU Foundation President Blaire Atkinson said. “They
are among our most loyal and true supporters, and we are so proud to see Anne inducted
into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.”
