The Members-in Course Committee and the officers of the Alpha of Oklahoma chapter of Phi Beta Kappa congratulate the students who have been elected to membership this year. Founded at the College of William and Mary on December 5, 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest honor society and one of its most prestigious. Phi Beta Kappa recognizes undergraduate achievement across the liberal arts disciplines: the humanities, the social sciences, the natural sciences, languages, and mathematics. To be eligible for election, students must be ranked in the top ten percent of graduating seniors in the Dodge College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Atmospheric & Geographic Sciences, the College of International Studies, the Gaylord College of Journalism & Mass Communication, and the Conoco Phillips School of Geology & Geophysics. A very small number of outstanding juniors are also considered for membership. Elected students are recognized not only for their outstanding grade-point averages but also for the breadth of their academic programs.

The University of Oklahoma’s Phi Beta Kappa chapter was one of the first one hundred chartered. Established on May 24, 1920 in Norman, founding members included Stratton Brooks, James Felgar, and Julien Monnet. Alumni members elected to the chapter in 1920 included Roy Gittenger, Edgar Meacham, and Angie Debo. Distinguished members of the Alpha of Oklahoma chapter include Lynn Riggs, John Joseph Mathews, and current OU President Joseph Harroz, Jr. Congratulations to the following students, and to their professors, mentors, families, and friends who have helped them achieve this honor.

SENIORS OUTSTANDING Scott

ALEXIA ASTON alexiaaston@ou.edu

Jennevieve Scott, an English language arts and education senior, is a non-traditional student, with a husband and five children, who discovered her love for teaching after she became a substitute teacher around 2018. She was vice president of the Oklahoma Aspiring Educators Association and a Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education ambassador. She was awarded the Betty Evans Scholarship, the P.B. Odom III Scholarship and qualified for the Lew Wentz Foundation Oklahoma Teacher Debt Forgiveness Loan.

Q: What have you learned from your time at OU?

A: I have learned perspective, perspectives that have broadened my worldview, so I can be a better educator. I have learned how to be more compassionate. I have learned to be more confident. I learned how to be a better writer. I have learned how to be a better teacher. I learned how to be a better listener. I don’t know that there’s really any part of my life that hasn’t been, somehow, impacted or affected by my time at OU. The things that you learn, they’re the ways that you’re challenged to grow, they change you. And hopefully, they change for the better. And I believe that they have. I think that I am a kinder, more thoughtful human being than I was maybe when I entered the university.

Q: Who was your favorite professor/faculty member/staffer/adviser at OU and why?

A: Dr. Crag Hill. He has been an amazing support and an amazing encourager. He’s 100 percent there for you. You could call on him for anything, and he’s there to support you in your education.

Q: What are your post-graduation goals?

A: I want to get my master’s. I plan on doing that. Hopefully, I’ll be finished with that in the next four to five years. It’s hard to tell after that. I have dreams of getting a Ph.D. and going further. I would probably wait until my kids are out of the house, but I think it would be fun to do. … Right now, I just want to teach. I want to teach for

as long as I love it, and once I don’t love it anymore, then that’s when it’s time to change professions. That’s the purpose behind the master’s degree. Our students deserve teachers who love being in a classroom and are happy to be in the classroom. So, as long as I can be that teacher, I’m going to. The second I don’t love it anymore, or the moment that I no longer feel like I can best serve my students, that’s when it’s time to move on.

Q: How has your time at OU shaped who you are today?

A: I’m a non-traditional student. I’m older than a lot of students and a lot of my peers, but it has reminded me that we never stopped growing, and we never stop learning. Life is a process of discovery. We’re constantly discovering who we are and who we are in relation to the world.

Q: What advice would you give to your younger self?

A: Be patient. Good stuff takes time. You will come to things in due time when the timing is right. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Q: What is your advice for upcoming and current OU students?

A: Find your people. Find your community. That is the thing that has supported me and gotten me through it. I am so super blessed that I have my family at home also to support me. When you’re a college student and you’re in the thick of it, only another student is going to understand what it means.

Q: What will you miss the most about OU?

A: I miss it already because I’m in my internship. It’s hard sometimes driving on campus knowing that I’m not there anymore. I miss the people in my college. I am going to miss Tuesday tea, and I am going to miss popping into some of the faculty and staff members’ offices just to chat. I’m gonna miss student events. Believe it or not, I’m afraid that I’m going to miss writing papers. I feel like I know how to be a student really well at this point. I worry whether or not that’s going to translate well as a teacher because it’s a role reversal. I think that it would be easier to say, “What am I not going to miss?”

Nieto

ANUSHA FATHEPURE anusha.fathepure@ou.edu

Daniel Nieto, a construction science senior, was president of Sigma Lambda Beta, a historically Latino-based fraternity, a family leader for Latinos without Borders, the Hispanic American Student Association, the Diversity Enrichment Program and was involved with Mr. and Miss Hispanic OU. As president of Sigma Lambda Beta, he was awarded the Outstanding Greek Senior Award.

Q: What are your plans for after graduation?

A: I have a job lined up in Dallas. I will be working with Austin Bridge and Road, a heavy civil company.

Q: What have you learned from your time at OU?

A: I have learned the difference between having a professional and business relationship with people, especially with individuals who are part of organizations with you. You can be friends with them that day, but you also have to handle your business with your organizations because you have to fulfill roles you were trusted with.

Q: What is one of your most memorable moments at OU

A: One of my most memorable moments at OU was probably losing the Mr. Hispanic pageant. It was one of the most humbling experiences because I felt like I had a lot of growth through that experience. It was really good to receive a no and not win something because I’ve never really been put in a position where I never got what I wanted. … It made me realize that I’m more than just titles and awards.

Q: Who was your favorite professor/faculty member/staffer/adviser at OU and why?

A: Kylie Frisby from the Student Life Office. She has really helped me a lot. I go to her for most of my problems like, “Hey, I don’t know this,” and she’s like, “I don’t know either, but I’m willing to find out with you.” Also, Sharlotte Gramajo has been a really good role model. She’s our chapter adviser, so she really helps us maneuver the business aspect and the political aspect of what it means to be a fraternity president and fraternity

on the campus of OU.

Q: What are your post-graduation goals?

A: One post-graduation goal is definitely to start in some type of acting somewhere. That’s one of my hobbies that I like to do. I like to entertain people.

Q: How has your time at OU shaped who you are today?

A: It’s made me a lot calmer in the sense of I don’t need everything now. Everything takes time. So it really gave me patience, showed me patience. I really appreciate OU for that. It takes time to get involved and it takes time to really find what you’re good at and what you like.

Q: What advice would you give to your younger self?

A: Go to OU out the gate. I went the (pro-soccer) route with Leones Negros, and I got booted out. I felt like, “Hey, you’re no longer good,” so I played two years of college ball at a random

college, and I lost two years. I feel like if I would have come to OU earlier I definitely would have been involved a lot quicker and would have been in the loop of things. When I transferred here, I didn’t get to do Camp Crimson and I didn’t have all those experiences, so that really kind of sucked.

Q: What is your advice for upcoming and current OU students?

A: Get involved as early as you can. Whatever it is you are into, get involved. I would really aim to find your niche at OU because once you find your niche you can really expand your horizon and your network at OU. Just get involved early, and don’t be afraid to fail.

Q: What will you miss the most about OU?

A: I will probably miss the community aspect of it. I really will miss seeing people in the South Oval, the North Oval, kicking it at tailgates, 2 a.m. meetings with friends. I’ll miss all of that.

A lot of the spaces that I’ve been in, I’m constantly thinking about my identity, and I’m constantly thinking about the people that are around me and the work that I have to do. Coming from this collectivist culture and … being first gen and whatnot, I feel like I really had to prove myself a lot. I feel like in the past, I would even say the whole time that I’ve been here, but just within the past year, I really learned that I need to allow myself to breathe.

Q: Who was your favorite professor/faculty member/staffer/adviser at OU and why?

A: My favorite staff on campus is the Office of Student Life … Quy Nguyen and my direct supervisor, Hunter Guarnera. … I am just constantly surrounded by so much love and so much support. And this office specifically, I know, is so intentional with the outreach they do for students. We know statistically that students will place their sense of belonging over their hierarchical needs, like food and water, and Hunter and Quy

do an amazing job getting students where they need to be. Honestly, I could not physically, emotionally (and) mentally have made it this far without them.

Q: What are your post-graduation goals?

A: I’m going to take a break. I’m moving to Tennessee (and) my start date is during the summer. So, I will have about a month to not do anything and just exist, and that’s honestly what I’m so excited for. To just take a minute, reflect on the time that I had here, journal and then just keep going. After I get my master’s, I do want to continue on to get my Ph.D. or my (doctor of education) … because I want to be a doctor. I’ve always wanted to just be at some level of doctoral degree, but also because I want to be in a position where I can have difficult conversations and have that authority and continue making programs better for different students.

Q: How has your time at OU shaped who you are today?

A: Working and being in this space, I realized that I really enjoy student engagement. I love working with students directly, specifically with minoritized communities (and) underrepresented identities. It truly has changed the trajectory of my life and what I want to do and also, I feel like, how I interact with other people. If it wasn’t for my time here at OU, I’d probably be in an office

somewhere so miserable.

Q: What advice would you give to your younger self?

A: I would tell myself to give myself some grace, like chill out. It’s going to be okay. … Read a book. Reflect on your experience. Also, maybe learn how to say no (and) learn how to maintain your own sanity when you’re maintaining everybody else’s, because you can’t fill anybody else’s bucket if your own bucket isn’t filled.

Q: What is your advice for upcoming and current OU students?

A: Three things: Try everything, … don’t be afraid to be uncomfortable … and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Q: What will you miss the most about OU?

A: This place is literally just home. … One of the first things that Quy asked me when I started working here was ,“How do you like to be appreciated?” No one has ever asked me that. No one has ever been so intentional with asking me that and I feel like depending on what office you call in the university, if you have a question and they can’t answer it, they’re going to be so intentional about getting you that right answer. And I’ve been visiting a lot of colleges this past year, and I can very confidently say that it’s not like that at every university or at any college.

SENIORS OUTSTANDING Mital

ANA BARBOZA abarbozaballesteros@ou.edu

Rohit Mital, a biology senior, was part of the Campus Activities Council, the Medical Ethics and Discussion panel, OU Cousins and the Acts of Kindness Association during his three years at OU. He was awarded with the Letzeiser Honor List for seniors, a Campus Life Award and is one of the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences’ Outstanding Seniors.

Q: What have you learned from your time at OU?

A: For the past three years, a lot of stuff has happened, and it’s put things into perspective, such as … getting an 80 on a test for a class. It is not good, but I kind of adopted a “worse things could happen” mentality. My life these past few years has been great, so it puts things into perspective, like things in high school that would really bother me, (like) relationships or friendship problems. I’ve learned these past few years that nothing is really that important, and it won’t matter in the long run. So there’s always something to enjoy about life, no matter how awful it seems at the moment.

Q: Who was your favorite professor/faculty member/staffer/adviser at OU and why?

A: Dr. Julia Ehrhardt. She was my honors perspectives professor in my first semester here, which is one of my favorite classes that I’ve taken here these past three years. She was the first professor I really built a connection with. She’s been my mentor since then. She and I have become friends in a way and that’s been really nice and very helpful to have. She’s just a great person overall, a very supportive individual and also pretty straightforward.

Q: What are your post-graduation goals?

A: Post graduation is to get through the first year of med school without losing my hair, and step-by-step figuring out even more clearly what I want to do, making sure I’m satisfied. I don’t want to get involved and start going to med school and realize it’s not something I want to do. I want to take my time and figure things out, make sure I have a path going forward.

Q: How has your time at OU shaped who you are today?

A: Coming out of high school, I was like, “I want to be a doctor,” but I didn’t know anything beyond that: where I wanted to work, what I wanted to do (or) how I wanted to use my life. These past few years I’ve had some clarity on that, so now I have slightly more specific goals. I want to be a psychiatrist. I want to work in a city. I want to work for a university where I can teach and do research while I practice medicine. ... I feel like I know a little bit more about myself, both academically and otherwise. And that’s kind of helping me carve a path for the future as I try to pursue those goals.

Q: What advice would you give to your younger self?

A: I would tell myself to stop worrying about comparing myself to other people. There have been a lot of moments where I start wondering whether I’m doing the right thing for my future, if I’m getting involved in the right things. … If I see somebody else who’s been really successful or achieved a goal similar to mine, I would tell

myself, just because somebody else is living a different life doesn’t mean that my life isn’t going well.

Q: What is your advice for upcoming and current OU students?

A: Overextend yourself a little bit at the beginning, so then you can cut back later on. Chase all the opportunities that you can as far as involvement goes. Take the random course that you’re thinking about taking because, once we graduate from college, we’ll never get to do random stuff again in our lives. I’m taking harp right now for my last semester for no reason. Once I graduate from here, I’m probably never going to touch a harp again in my life, but it’s cool, so I did it. That sort of thing is what’s made life interesting here.

Q: What will you miss the most about OU?

A: People. … I’m gonna miss the people. That’s what makes graduating scary for me, having to say bye to my roommates, who are people I’ve been friends with for two and a half years now, and all the other people I’ve met in those organizations.

Building OU’s one-stop shop

Mother-daughter duo’s entrepreneurial spirit expands access to OU merchandise, custom stoles

JAZZ WOLFE jazzwolfe@ou.edu

Helen Wolney wanted to fill a ap in OU’s merchandise market.

Wolney and her mom opened The pothem in November 1990, with the hopes of selling greek life merchandise to OU students. Since then, The pothem has grown to sell a variety of OU-based products, including clothes and household decor. Notably, she also sells hundreds of customized stoles.

Wolney said she noticed a lack of access to merchandise for greek life on campus in the age before internet shopping and she wanted to put her business degree from Oklahoma City Community College to good use. The ida of opening her own business was appealing.

“My mom and I wanted to work for ourselves. We didn’t want to work for other people,” Wolney said. “So my dad said, ‘Open your own store.’”

Wolney said she wanted the store’s name to start with the letter “A” so it would appear fist in the phone book, particularly since the internet wasn’t widely available at the time. Her dad, a math teacher, suggested the term “apothem,” and the name stuck.

Wolney and her mom traveled across the U.S. to trade conventions so they could find companies to collaborate with and items to sell in their newly founded store.

“We drove to Dallas, we drove to Atlanta, we flew o Vegas, we flew o all these big cities where they had trade shows,” Wolney said. “We had to figure it out.”

As the years went by, more and more people went into The pothem asking for specific iems like license plate covers and

accessories for game day. Wolney would try to add what was requested to her stock, despite the challenges in the early days due to no internet. About ten years after The Apothem opened, a few students came in asking for customized stoles. Wolney was happy to oblige.

Wolney now works with more than 12 student organizations and sells around 500 customized stoles each year. She and a few students at The pothem work from January to May, cutting, sewing and embroidering each stole.

“It needs long, long nights, long hours,” Wolney said. “I try to fit in as uch as I can during the daytime.”

Wolney said she has employed students for around 30 years at The pothem. While she finds it hallenging to work around class schedules and breaks throughout the school year, she still looks forward to each student going in for their shift.

“It’s the best part of my day,” Wolney said.

In March 2020, when the pandemic shut down campus and the country, Wolney said she closed The pothem for eight weeks. After reopening, her sales dropped dramatically, especially the customized stoles after graduations moved online. The business is still recovering the lost revenue, she said, but she’s hopeful for the future.

She’s seen students walking around Campus Corner more often, popping into shops and restaurants as they ride bikes and scooters at all hours of the day. She’s happy the students are back and the area is active again.

“It’s fun to see all the students,” Wolney said. “Thee’s always something happening down here.”

On his last normal Thursday night, Reese Phillips practiced for Sooner Scandals with fellow members of OU Choirs.

Phillips, then a vocal performance freshman, rehearsed with his group on March 12, 2020, the night after the NBA postponed its season and former President Donald Trump announced a 30-day travel ban from European countries to the U.S.

Phillips’ directors made his team run the entire show and film it before sending well-wishes to their group chat for a restful vacation.

“Nothing was ever said,” Phillips, now a senior graduating in May, told OU Daily. “But there was a part of us that knew that was going to be it. That was going to be the last rehearsal that we had.”

Over the following days, Phillips met with friends on campus who hadn’t left for spring break yet. In the Oklahoma Memorial Union, Phillips learned via email that classes would be canceled for an extra week. A few days later, OU moved to online classes for the remainder of the semester.

“I remember talking to some of my friends just

Over three years ago, members of the class of 2023 participated in their last activities and attended their final classes before COVID-19 shut the country down. Some of these students reflected on the unprecedented time as the last graduating class to experience college before the pandemic.

Joy Nath, an economics and linguistics senior, said spring 2020 left him feeling isolated.

Nath started at OU in fall 2019 as an international student from India. He made it his goal to be as involved as possible on campus. Nath was a member of The Big Event and the International Advisory Council during his freshman year and had events scheduled for spring 2020 until OU canceled classes. Nath didn’t get the chance to see students and faculty volunteer for The Big Event until over a year later.

Nath decided not to travel home from his dorm in Couch Center for break after hearing about COVID-19 in other countries. When OU canceled classes, he was stuck on campus.

Nath hasn’t been home since 2019.

“It was very traumatic,” Nath told OU Daily. “I vividly remember that it was after spring break and the next few weeks, we’re kind of happy we got extra few days, then we thought, ‘What is happening?’”

Nath earned the title of Outstanding Freshman in 2020, Outstanding Sophomore in 2021 as well

as OU’s Campus Life Award. Nath is a member of PE-ET Top 10 Senior Honor Society, is on the Letzeiser Honor List and won the Honors College Vision Award this year. This fall, he was on OU’s Homecoming court. He achieved all of this despite having not returned home in four years.

Nath watched as his classmates moved out of their dorm rooms over the course of the next few months. Before the pandemic, his friends stopped in the hallways or kitchens to talk and catch up. After OU closed, he said everybody stayed in their rooms.

“I was looking forward to the spring, and then suddenly nothing was happening. Everything was canceled,” Nath said. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t know what’s happening.’ I was disoriented.”

Nath said one of the main things that helped him was the community international students and other students stuck on campus created. While it wasn’t the same as before the pandemic, he still had a support system.

During his 2019 spring semester, Marcus Ake, a meteorology senior, put a down payment on studying abroad in Germany over the summer. Ake first learned about COVID-19 from his father, who was then traveling in Taiwan and China.

In November 2019, his father alerted their family to start stocking supplies and to take the virus seriously if it made its way over to the U.S. In spring 2020, he saw the full extent of how COVID-19 would impact the world.

Graduating seniors describe shift in college experience

REGHAN KYLE/OU DAILY

Reese Phillips in front of the Oklahoma Memorial Union on April 19.

“Everything was fun, dandy, normal. I was planning, not only for spring break, but also getting ready for studying abroad,” Ake said. “And all of a sudden, everything came crashing down.”

When OU closed and the country eventually shut down, Ake stepped up to care for his family in Belton, Texas. He went out to buy groceries and disinfected his house to prevent his mother from getting sick. His dad didn’t return home until January 2021.

Grace Goodwin, a pre-med chemical biosciences senior, was in California visiting family when she heard on TikTok the news OU wouldn’t return for the remainder of the semester. She said she was convinced it would only last for two weeks.

Goodwin, who grew up in Norman, returned home and fell into a new normal of quarantine. Her grandfather is immunocompromised, so to protect him, her grandmother moved in with her family.

OU came up with a plan to reopen campus for the fall 2020 semester. As Phillips, Nath, Ake, Goodwin and thousands of students like them prepared to return to a somewhat normal semester, they realized the college experience they had just gotten a taste of would never be the same.

As student organizations held meetings and events over Zoom, attendance began to dwindle and some organizations didn’t survive the years after the pandemic. Ake said upperclassmen were unable to share or pass down leadership

as smoothly, therefore causing some campus organizations to lose valuable participation and growth.

“Overall, involvement has really plummeted,” Ake said. “We’re the last group who knows what college was like before COVID. So it’s crazy. Some traditions were lost, and it’s kind of hard to come to terms that (they) may not ever actually come back.”

The freshmen in 2020 didn’t get to watch, learn or see how to plan events like The Big Event or Dance Marathon, Ake and Goodwin said. Because of this, attendance became low and those events were not at the same caliber or scale.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, OU Campus Activities Council raised $1,033,102.20 during the 2020 Soonerthon, now known as OUDM. In 2021, OUDM raised just over $775,000 and in 2023, the group raised $465,318.23 during the 12hour event.

According to members of The Big Event, 6,0005,000 volunteers would participate in the event. After the pandemic, the number is about 2,000 volunteers shy of pre-pandemic years.

“I feel like campus climate has changed in general. Involvement has changed,” Goodwin said. “I’m a part of CAC, and I feel like I’ve noticed a big drop off, burnout and people not really wanting to stay committed to extracurriculars. … (Underclassmen) don’t get to experience what it was like to be like a true freshman and get to experience all the fun events at their height.”

Ake said not only large-scale events were lost

in the pandemic, but so were small traditions and myths. During his freshman year, Ake said he heard a rumor that senior meteorology students pulled all-nighters in the National Weather Center. He said not doing that with his class now is one of the biggest losses of the pandemic.

After graduation, Ake will intern with the National Weather Service before getting his master’s in atmospheric and cryospheric sciences at the University of InnsBruck in Austria. Nath plans to work for BlackRock’s internal audit division in New York City. Goodwin plans to apply for medical school over the summer and will continue working at OU Health as a patient care technician in the mean time. Phillips will start a voice performance master’s program at the University of Colorado after graduation.

Nath, Goodwin, Ake and Phillips each said they felt they missed out on social aspects of college, and they are watching classes below them do the same. They said they hope campus returns to the climate from their freshman year, and OU would be a better place for it.

Ake works as a campus tour guide, and he said he uses the pandemic as a lesson, and he passes it down to every person who joins him for a tour.

“Don’t make the same mistake I did, assuming that you have all four years. I really only had one year of that real college experience. I still paid the real college price,” Ake said. “Take advantage of everything you have because you really don’t know how quickly something’s going to change, and you won’t have those same opportunities.”
