Shakiba Capital founders Trevor & Christina Shakiba were announced as recipients of the 2023 President’s Award for their service and contributions to Oklahoma Wesleyan University.

From OKWU.edu:

Trevor Shakiba (’03) and his wife, Christina, were honored at Foster Bonanza last week, where they were announced as the recipients of this year’s President’s Award. The Shakibas have supported the university for years, a relationship that began when Trevor came to OKWU as a student in the fall of 1999.

“When I went to Oklahoma Wesleyan as a student, I had never heard of the Wesleyan Church,” said Shakiba. “But the mission statement aligns with what my wife and I believe in.”

Since his time as a student at OKWU, Shakiba has looked for ways to give back to his alma mater. For many years, he had an internship through the Chesapeake Energy School of Business. He had OKWU students come to his firm for a semester to work and learn firsthand skills. He ended up hiring two of his interns for full-time positions.
