In 2004, James Everest, Gary Fuller, and Edmund O. Martin formed The Awesome Men of OSSM with the specific goal of helping grow the OSSM Faculty Endowment to provide modest yet much needed supplements to OSSM faculty salaries. Originally set at levels comparable to associate professors at major state universities, OSSM legislated faculty salaries have not stayed competitive over the years.
Awesome Men commit $5,000 over five years to ensure OSSM can always retain the superb faculty, more than 91% of whom hold doctorates in their areas of instruction, who transform many more student lives each year teaching world-class, college-level academics at OSSM.
