The current president of commercial construction project firm OP Development, Greg Opinski began his career as an industry executive with the foundation of Greg Opinski Construction Inc. (GOCI), in Merced, California. Prior to establishing GOCI, Greg Opinski attended Fresno State University, where he earned a bachelor of science in industrial technology.

One of the California State University system’s 23 campuses, Fresno State is a centrally-located school noted for its research excellence and reputation for the development of pioneering agriculture programs. Recently, the president of Fresno State announced that the amount of charitable donations to the school increased by more than 20 percent in the 2017-2018 academic year.

Almost 10,000 individuals gave an impressive $22.4 million during the year. Of the funds, $18.3 million were dedicated to the university’s academic functions and $4.1 million were dedicated to its athletic programs. The school saw an overall 14.5 percent increase in alumni donors during the year.

Along with alumni and friends of the school, nonprofit organizations and businesses also contributed to the total. Some of the largest single gifts included $450,000 from the Chevron corporation, $1.8 million from the Frank and Roxie Moradian trusts, and $1 million from an anonymous donor. Others who are interested in supporting the Fresno State University community can easily give to the school through a virtual portal on its website at www.fresnostate.edu.
