My guest is Donovan Woods, who currently serves as the Director of Development for the Oklahoma State University Foundation, focusing efforts on the OSU – Oklahoma City Campus, and OSU Institutional Diversity. His primary role at the OSU Foundation is identifying, cultivating, and soliciting ongoing relationships with major gift prospects for the University. This involves coordinating closely with the President of OSU-OKC and other administrators in providing oversight of fundraising programs.

Donovan is a graduate of Oklahoma State University where he played football and majored in Business Marketing. While at OSU, he was a 4-year starter at 3 different positions and Team Captain in 2007.
In addition to his roles with the OSU Foundation, Donovan speaks publicly on topics related to his experiences with football, motivation, and leadership. He sits on multiple boards in various roles within the Oklahoma City Metro area and is a proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi. Donovan attends Greater Mt Pilgrim Baptist Church and is married to Megan Woods of Eufaula, Oklahoma. They have 1 daughter together named Henley.
