George R. and Helen Klein Online Application

Barry Klein, a 1968 graduate of Oakland University, established the George R. and Helen Klein memorial scholarship in 1997 in honor of his parents. He credits OU for teaching him to think critically and question why things are the way they are.

Since his graduation, Barry has continued his involvement with Oakland University. He co-chaired the alumni component of the University’s Enduring Legacy Capstone Campaign, served as the President of the Oakland University Alumni Association, and has been the recipient of both the Distinguished Alumni Service Award and the OU Alumni Spirit Award. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the Oakland University Foundation. Barry feels it’s important to help students because they will, in turn, give back to the community. He authored the book Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll, and the royalties are used to fund this scholarship in support of students with an interest in addictions counseling.
