The Okokon B. Okon III Fellowship
The Okokon B. Okon III Fellowship

Okokon Okon was a gentleman in every sense of the word.

His life was tragically cut short nearly three years ago before he could start a family, complete his life’s work and leave a legacy of his own. His friends and colleagues from around the world have decided to leave a lasting legacy in his name.

In March of 2005, a campaign began to raise $250,000 to endow the first fellowship named for an African or African-American alum with a preference for African and African-American students at Stanford.

Today, more than 53 alumni of color have donated over $130,000 toward this goal. For more details, please visit www.okokonokon.com.

Proceeds from copies of Speak Softly purchased here will be contributed to the Okokon B. Okon III Fellowship fund.
