The institution has undergone many changes in that time, becoming more must position ourselves for the future.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

It’s an exciting time to be in higher education, and our constituents depend on OSUIT not only to remain current in our instruction but to be innovative in our methodologies.

We have many distinct programs of study that are not commonly taught elsewhere. OSUIT has a unique opportunity to reimagine and reinvent how applied, hands-on learning is conducted and prepare it for the future with the next technology platform— extended reality (XR).

OSUIT is addressing the needs of today’s college students and today’s workforce—providing full educational access through virtual reality (VR) training experiences and cutting-edge instructional formats across various programs.

Our institution is pioneering new breakthroughs in education by creating an immersive, virtual version of OSUIT. The OSUIT Metaversity is a “digital twin” of campus within the Metaverse.

VR doesn’t replace handson learning – it enhances it and allows OSUIT to remain the leader in technical education.

Unique to OSUIT’s curriculum is how its creation is informed by industry partners and the current workforce landscape. Much of what we do depends on the feedback, input and support of our industry and tribal partners and without them, we

OSUIT REMEMBERS

WHAT OSUIT MEANS TO OUR ALUMNI PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS IMPRESSED BY MY GRADUATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA AND MY GRADUATION FROM LE CORDON BLEU IN PARIS. I’M MOST IMPRESSED BY MY EDUCATION FROM OSUIT BECAUSE IT GAVE ME AN EXCELLENT CULINARY FOUNDATION AND TAUGHT ME THE SKILLS TO BE THE SUCCESSFUL CHEF, AUTHOR AND CULINARY EDUCATOR I AM TODAY.

THE OKMULGEE CAMPUS CONTINUES TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR EXTRAORDINARY CAREERS

—Chef Jennifer Hill Booker ’95, Culinary educator, business owner, author

Oklahoma A&M purchased the campus now known as Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology in 1946 for just one dollar. It’s quite the return on investment when you consider the economic impact the institution has had on Oklahoma over the last 75 years. While $1 can’t move the needle on capital projects these days, the education and experiences students have gained over the last 75 years remain priceless. Although many things have changed in the past 75 years, OSUIT has never wavered from its mission to provide a high-quality education that prepares students for extraordinary careers.

HERE, YOU DO GET TO LEARN THE THEORY BEHIND IT, BUT YOU REALLY GET TO PUT YOUR HANDS ON REAL-LIFE STUFF THAT YOU WILL BE DOING ONCE YOU GET OUT INTO INDUSTRY. FOR A SHORT TIME AT CHEVRON, I WAS A RECRUITER AND WOULD GO TO SCHOOLS LOOKING FOR EMPLOYEES. I ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO COMING HERE BECAUSE I KNEW THE STUDENTS HAD HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT THEY WOULD BE DOING ON THE JOB, AND IT WOULD BE A SMOOTH TRANSFER TO THE WORKING WORLD.

ABOVE: The time capsule, buried in November 2021, will reopen when the school celebrates its sesquicentennial or 150-year anniversary in November 2096.

—Amanda Cullum ’10, OSUIT faculty

BELOW: Legacy Wall in Grady Clack, installed in 2021, was created by 2021 OSUIT Graphic Design students Anna Autaubo, Jake Wilson, Brooke Braswell and Kori Smith.

I LOOK AT MY WORK, AND I SEE A HEAVY INFLUENCE OF GRAPHIC DESIGN. THAT EDUCATION AND THAT TIME MADE ME WHO I AM TODAY. I WOULDN’T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.

MY DEGREE FROM OSUIT NOT ONLY EXPANDED MY KNOWLEDGE OF MY FIELD OF STUDY, BUT IT PREPARED ME FURTHER FOR THE DIFFERENT ROLES IN MY LIFE— BUSINESS OWNER, RANCHER AND MOST RECENTLY, PUBLIC SERVICE. —Markwayne Mullin ’10, U.S. Congressman

WHEN I WENT TO OSUIT, I FOUND PEOPLE WHO CARED ABOUT ME; I FOUND A LOVE FOR AN INDUSTRY I DIDN’T KNOW COULD EXIST... THERE’S NOT AN HVAC PROGRAM THAT’S ANYWHERE CLOSE TO OSUIT. IT IS THE BEST. —Mike Rampey ’74, Owner/Vice President of Air Assurance

OSUIT IS CONTINUING BY...

WEDA Technician Like many of you, I grew up on a farm and have been driving tractors my whole life but did not have any clue on how they functioned mechanically. I did not know what a sparkplug or turbocharger was, and I was not familiar with engine components when I came to OSUIT. Because of the internships with P&K Equipment and the curriculum at OSUIT, I am now splitting tractors, removing engines from skid steers and repairing machines every day. Do not let failure ruin your confidence at your job. Instead, focus on your achievements to help you when a challenging job arises. Just because we graduate today does not mean that we stop learning tomorrow.

Debra and Willis C. Worley, Jr. S C H O L A R S H I P E N D OW M E N T On May 25, 2021, OSUIT lost a dear friend and advocate, Mrs. Debra Worley of Waurika, OK. Debra’s connection to OSUIT began many years ago when her future husband, Willis, and his brother Joe Tom attended Oklahoma A&M College School of Technical Training, now OSUIT. In 2008, Debra and Willis established an endowed scholarship in honor of Curby and Aline Brown. Mr. Brown was Willis’s instructor who inspired him to teach the first away in 2011, Debra ensured that a part of his estate funded the scholarship he was passionate about. Debra avidly looked forward to learning about the new students who would benefit from the scholarship.

Several years later, Debra created the Joe Thomas Worley Memorial Endowed Scholarship in honor of her late brotherin-law. After her own passing, Debra’s estate funded the scholarship she set up with a monumental gift of $300,000.

The Worley’s legacy will live on through countless generations of students at OSUIT and we are profoundly grateful for their loyalty and generosity.

2022 REGENTS BUSINESS PARTNERS EXCELLENCE AWARD The partnership between Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) and Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology stretches back several decades. PSO was one of the primary forces behind the creation of the High Voltage Technician program at OSUIT, and now provides numerous paid internships to OSUIT students every year, donates equipment and supplies to support academic programs, and features PSO employees on various program advisory committees. A model for collaboration between industry and education, the impact of this partnership can be seen throughout the OSUIT campus.

“Receiving the GPA Midstream scholarship has impacted my life in many ways,” said Shaw. “Coming from a family of four children, my parents couldn’t just pick one kid who gets money to get an education; this scholarship has helped my parents and leaves me with little to no debt upon graduation.”

The importance of education was instilled in him from a young age. As a child, his mother would pack up him and his siblings and take them to class with her so she could attend college.

“My parents set an example that no obstacle will stop you from obtaining a degree,” said Shaw.

Hired before graduation, Trenton now works with Mesa Products, following his father’s footsteps in the same industry.
