Northwestern Foundation & Alumni Association
Rangers, I am honored and humbled to serve as President and lead Northwestern Oklahoma State University into the future. I am thankful for a dedicated faculty and staff who work to meet the needs of our students every day. This presidency will continue to be about our people, and we are fortunate to have a strong base of alumni and community members who support our institution at all times. We are pleased to see our legislature support an increase of funding for higher education this year. With this and strategic planning efforts, Northwestern was able to keep tuition and fees flat for the second straight year. However, there will be a small increase in room and board as cost of services continues to rise. Northwestern Oklahoma State University continues to invest in our facilities to provide the best environment we can for our employees and our students. This fall, plans are to open our completely renovated South Hall facility, which is our largest women’s dormitory. Also, a newly renovated athletic training room will be available, which will provide enhanced resources to our coaches and student-athletes. Finally, our new Strategic Plan, Success Lives Here, seeks to maintain a commitment to Northwestern’s rich traditions while adapting to the significant changes in the higher education landscape. I appreciate the many individuals who contributed to this new plan. The phrase "Success Lives Here" defines our expectations as we look forward to our future, and I am excited to see where we go. Your continued support is appreciated and necessary for the success of our future graduates in their journey. Ride, Rangers, Ride.
