You can make a gift in memory or honor of a teacher, student, relative or friend to recognize their life or acknowledge their accomplishments. To make an honorary gift, simply complete the honorary gift section of the
giving form. You need to include the name and address of the honoree. For a memorial gift, you should include the name and address of the next of kin. Oakland University notifies the honoree or next of kin when an honorary or memorial gift is received.
