Happy 80th Birthday, Don Creed ’69! Wishing you blessings throughout the year and many more. Thank you for supporting Ottawa University students!

Happy 80th Birthday, Don Creed ’69!

Don and his wife Carolyn have been among the most committed supporters of Ottawa University, especially its academic programs in STEM and the health sciences.

The Creeds provided major gifts toward the construction of the Creed Family Greenhouse on the Ottawa campus and the launch of the prelicensure nursing and physician assistant programs in Kansas City.

In honor of Don’s 80th, the Creeds committed $1 million to support new student scholarships, faculty development initiatives, curricular innovations, and investments in facilities and equipment in STEM and the health sciences.

Thank you so much for your generosity and vision, Don, and have a wonderful birthday!
