A Day with Dr. Webb
Story by Selena Williams Assistant Editor
Dr. Jeanie Webb has been the president of Rose State since 2013. Webb was the vice president of Student Affairs for 12 years and was also the Dean of Northeastern State University campuses at Tulsa, Muskogee and Claremore before she took on her role as Rose State President.
Female presidents are rare, which makes having Webb as president of Rose State notable.
She is one out of seven female college presidents in Oklahoma. The other six are: Patti Neuhold-University of Central Oklahoma, Janet Cunningham-Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Cheryl Evans-Northern Oklahoma College, Leigh Goodson-Tulsa Community College, Martha Burger-Oklahoma City University, and Lana Reynolds-Seminole State College.
Webb said that her mother was her greatest mentor and inspiration.
“She was a leader in every way,” Webb said. “She never had the opportunity to go to college; she pushed me to succeed. My mother taught me to be strong.”
Webb named her husband as next in line on her mentor list.
“My husband Roger Webb, who was president at the University of Central Oklahoma, is a great inspiration to me,” she said. “He is a mentor every single day. I truly have the best of both worlds, a great mother who was a major influence and a strong husband who has been a leader for a lifetime.”
While every college Webb has worked for has been amazing and provided her with different experiences that helped her grow professionally; she said Rose State is an amazing place to work.
“I would really like Rose State students to know that I truly care about them and their success,” Webb said. “I was just like them, and my experience at a community
college started me on the right path and changed my life forever. It is my sincerest hope that Rose State College starts them on the path to achieving their dreams.”
She thinks everyone is equal and each person should be looked at as an individual.
“Everyone has a story and as individuals who make up the larger, greater whole, we each provide differences which are based on our background and experiences in life,” Webb said.
In her experience, a good team is made of people with different strengths.
“Everyone has different strengths, and as a leader, you have to know when to capitalize on those strengths for the betterment of the mission,” Webb said.
Now, a glimpse into Webb’s life. A typical day starts at 5 a.m. with her morning workout—she uses the time during her workout to reflect. Her days are filled with nonstop meetings and her nights are filled with evening events such as receptions and dinners. Her desire every day is to see her family—even though most days that is not until 8 p.m.
She is incredibly competitive and enjoys a game of tennis with her daughter and a round of golf with her husband. Webb has played tennis and golf for most of her life and has no plans of stopping. She is a dog lover. She has two dogs at home: Cubby (who was purchased at the Midwest City Auction) and Tucker.
More fun facts about Webb include her music taste. Some of her favorite songs are “Hello” by Adele, “Home” by Michael Bublé and “Meant to Be” by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line. One of her favorite movies is “Marley and Me,” and she enjoys watching television shows like “Criminal Minds” and “Chicago Fire.”
Webb is dedicated to her students, faculty and staff. “The most important thing is that the faculty and staff at Rose State allow stu-
dents the opportunity to better their lives,” Webb said. “We truly care about them as people and wish to support them in their goals.”
Last year’s Student Senate President Brianna Sanders said Webb is a powerful and graceful woman.
“She knows how to brighten a room with her smile and laughter,” Sanders said. “She has a keen ear for the voice of the student body. She allows us, as students, to be an important aspect to making Rose State College an influential place for everyone.”
Michelle Nutter, who has been Webb’s secretary for 15 years, said that the president loves being around the students, faculty, staff and community members, but she is also a private person. She explained that [we] all have to remember that Webb has a life with family and friends outside of Rose State.
“She gives so much of herself daily, I often wonder how she possibly has anything left for herself,”
Nutter said.
She added that Webb brings such a positive energy when she walks into the room. “We all sit up and get ready because we all know that we are in for a ride,” she said.
However, Webb’s position requires her to be serious because it is demanding.
“It is a lot of responsibility to be a president, but I think she does it with grace and confidence,” Nutter said. “Dr. Webb is almost a study of contradictions when it comes to her style. She is confident but humble; she is serious but fun loving. These are just a few of her styles.”
Nutter also said that Webb has an excellent sense of humor. “There are so many times when we have to be serious, but at those moments when we can relax for half of a second, we can all share in laughter.”
If she could describe Dr. Webb in three words they would be, ‘‘real, honest and kind.’’

It is finally that time of the year again. Time for many to put an end to binging the third season of ‘Stranger Things’ and finally taking that shower you have been putting off for the last week. That’s right, the beginning of the fall semester is upon us. Welcome back, Raiders.
For some, getting enrolled in the next semester is not as easy as it is for others, which is why Rose State has been hosting ‘Summer Nights’ sessions on campus. Throughout the month of July, Summer Nights has assisted approx -
imately 40 students on a guided tour of Rose’s campus. July consisted of nine evenings that would allow prospective students to ex plore the campus from 6-9 p.m., as well as answer any questions the students may have.
By scheduling an appointment, academic advisers were also there to help students apply or even enroll in classes once they have been admitted. Summer Nights advised 10 new students to enroll in classes this fall.
Summer Nights was created with the hopes of making the enrollment process easier and more accessible. Paige Stramski, a Recruiter at Rose State,
said they wanted to create an opportunity for students to be able to visit campus, apply, get information and even enroll.
“Normal office hours don’t always work for every potential student,” Stramski said. “[We] look forward to offering more opportunities like Summer Nights in the fall for students to have the opportunity to come to Rose and meet their scheduling needs.”
For those that are already enrolled, Student Engagement said anyone can join this year’s Raider Take-Off event on Aug. 13. Raider Take-Off, formerly known as College Snapshot, will run from 8 a.m.
- 2 p.m. and will consist of 20 different breakout sessions, an Explore Fair and a free T-shirt. Lunch will also be provided for those that attend. The day is intended to brief students on what to expect for the upcoming school year. The breakout sessions vary in topic from how to speak to and email a professor to why credit is important, and how to properly build it. The Explore Fair will encompass a tour of campus resources and what they have to offer the students.
If you are unable to attend the Raider Take-Off event on Aug. 13, there is a Raider Take-Off @Nite tailored specifically for you. The Nite session is scheduled for the evening of Aug. 15 and will be a condensed version of the previous session. The evening intends on properly covering the resources needed for academic, social and emotional success. The breakout sessions from Raider Take-Off will also be recorded for those that are unable to make it and posted on Rose State College’s Facebook page.

What does it actually mean to be more than one race? It seems like such a simple question to ask; however, it can be difficult to answer without feeling like a racial impostor.
The phrase “what are you?” is not an appropriate way to ask someone about their identity. Unfortunately, that does not stop people from saying it, or from questioning or even correcting someone’s self-identification.
Rose State student Haley Thatcher, who is mixed - African American and Caucasian- has had difficulties being biracial. She explained her school experience growing up.
“Well, since I went to a 95% all white school it was tough,” Thatcher said. “Finding friends wasn’t all that hard, but still challenging.”
Thatcher said she first realized she was biracial when she was 10 or 11, always received comments about her hair and even stares.
“I did get a question one time how I got my hair so curly, which I thought was kind of strange,” Thatcher said.
Thatcher thinks race is just a way to identify or categorize what we look like. She thinks it’s a good thing because if we did not, we would feel alone.
Former Rose State student, Kourtney Love, who is also African American and Caucasian, lives in Midwest City with her husband and daughter.
“In junior high, I didn’t like being called white because at that time I found out about slavery, so I didn’t want to be referred to as white. It was either just mixed or black; and this guy called me a white girl, it upset me, you know.
“What
are you?”
What it means to be biracial
I didn’t want to be the white girl.
“I think at that time it was kind of like, I don’t fit in with one crowd, and I didn’t experience anything like that again until I was 26.”
Love explained how when she was 26, a man called her a black girl and she said it didn’t make sense that all of a sudden she was considered a black girl. That’s when she noticed that being mixed was a thing and some people didn’t like it. She felt like people thought she was either too black or too white.
In high school Love began hanging out with more black kids or mixed kids instead of white kids, because they didn’t interact with her, so she didn’t interact with them. She never experienced what it was like to have white friends or the white culture other than from her dad’s side of the family.
“I would think that if you’re colorblind, then race doesn’t exist, people are just people,” she said. “You know, if we didn’t live in the world we live in, and people weren’t so into colorism then it’s false. People put that in our minds or taught us that because you look different, race exists. In a perfect world, if you raise your kids to be colorblind they won’t know, so race wouldn’t exist. We can interact the same way, we can have the same conversations and if nobody looked at color, we could get the same education and textbooks. So, race [shouldn’t] exist, but it does.”
Love explained how she addresses silly or misguided questions from the outside world regarding her daughter.
“Being mixed, I have had problems with my daughter because she’s brown. She’s much more brown than I am and so people ask ‘is that your real daughter, like you gave birth to her, you
had her?’ and I’m like, ‘yeah’,” she said. “I’ve had kids or adults come up to me and say ‘why is she so dark?’, and I’m like it’s because I’m not white and her dad is black, she’s black. It felt like they were saying she couldn’t be my daughter because we were two separate shades.”
On the surface, colorblindness seems like a good thing, since it says we should treat each other purely as individuals. However, race influences our perceptions and treatment of others, whether we want it to or not, and that trying to ignore race effectively means trying to ignore racism, which lets the current racial inequities continue.
“I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be any other race,” Love said. “To be just black or just white, I don’t think I would want to be either. I’ll stay in the middle because each
race goes through its own things. But, I couldn’t imagine just being whole when being half you go through what you go through, or you hear the things you hear. Like how much worse could it get, so I’ll just stay in the middle.” Regardless of race, everyone will encounter some sort of identity crisis in their lives. Many multiracial people find themselves between the racial and ethnic boxes society has put in place. Instead of having our own box, people dip in and out of preexisting boxes that fit depending on the situation they are in. The most important thing to remember is to not make assumptions about a mixed person’s racial identity. If a person discloses their identity, take their word for it. No two multiracial people are the same. All individuals have different stories and backgrounds, but everyone’s story is valid. Recognize and celebrate that.
OPINION: Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail: 2020
By Hollye Carroll Managing Editor
As the 2020 presidential campaign cycle kicks off, this column will serve to deconstruct and demystify the American political system. In conjunction with “One Nation Under Pod,” available on the RoseRadio SoundCloud page, we will cover the current presidential candidates, debates and issues that are important to our demographic: student debt loan forgiveness, healthcare, the environment and job creation.
The second round of the presidential candidate debates was held in Detroit July 31 and Aug 1. Due to the high number of candidates, this will only discuss the heavy hitters we all know by name and who are doing the best in the polls.
The first night included Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’ Rourke, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. A stark contrast to the first round,
Tuesday’s debate saw Warren and Sanders go head-to-head.
Buttigieg, or Mayor Pete as he’s more commonly known, and O’Rourke both made valid points and appealed to their ever-growing bases but everyone involved knew this night was for Warren and Sanders. In an attempt to set themselves apart from one another, both candidates articulately stated their differences without infighting; unlike night two but we’ll discuss that shortly.
Warren’s student debt forgiveness plan includes a two cent tax on the 0.1% of Americans making over $50 million a year. A two cent tax will be placed on every dollar made after the 51 millionth dollar, which would effectively cancel student debt for 95% of the population.
Sanders’ plan is to effectively cancel all student debt by a new tax on financial transactions, which he expects could raise
more than $2 trillion over the next 10 years. The tax plan will include a 0.5% fee on all stock trades, a 0.1% fee on all bond trades and a 0.005% fee on all derivatives trades.
Night two ushered in Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris and Andrew Yang on the stage. This night was a stark comparison to the first because the bulk of the night was spent trying to attack both Biden and Harris’ political careers.
Yang and Gillibrand were definitely the dark horses of the debate and used their time wisely to introduce legislation and focus on appealing to voters. Booker made incredibly compelling points but the highlights revolved around the quips thrown Biden’s way. Michael Bennet also delivered but is barely polling and sounds like Matt Damon’s character from “Team America: World Police.”
It’s understandable that the candidates have to beat each other first before becoming the nominee but night two saw too much infighting and that served as a distraction. The rule of thumb should always be country before party and the candidates from the first round seemingly pursued this much more.
The winner of night two was Yang with his proposal to put a monthly stipend of $1,000 in every American’s pocket starting from birth. Yang also discussed future job creation and the inevitable job loss brought on by the advancement of technology. The other candidates may still be on stage trying to discredit Biden and Harris.
By no means am I pledging allegiance to Yang Gang but his closing remarks have stayed with me and encapsulated the mindset each candidate should have, “This isn’t about left or right; this is about moving forward.”

Puerto Rican Governor resigns following protests and police clashes
The U.S. territory of Puerto Rico has been full of street protests and clashes with police over calls for the Gov. Ricardo Rosselló to resign. Rosselló has agreed to step down Aug. 2, a date achieved by protesters who refused to accept his original concession of not seeking reelection.
Puerto Rico’s Center For Investigative Journalism released a log of messages among Rosselló and his cabinet which included offensive remarks wishing to shoot opposition officials, messages of homophobic and misogynistic natures, and some demeaning to Hurricane Maria victims.
There is a succession crisis brewing as the next in line for the governorship, Justice Secretary Wanda Vázquez, refused the position and has been denounced for her closeness with Rosselló. The former Secretary of State would be next in line. However, Luis G. Rivera Marín resigned July 13 amidst this scandal. It is up to Rosselló to submit a replacement before his resignation and with people on the island already mobilized on this issue, Rosselló’s replacement has to stand up to their scrutiny.

Boris Johnson becomes UK Prime Minister amidst Brexit negotiations
Boris Johnson has become the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister after former prime-minister Theresa May stepped down amidst a backlash from Brexit negotiations. The former mayor of London and foreign secretary was elected by the Conservative Party electorate on July 23 and inherits a less-than-100 day deadline to reach an agreement with the European Union.
Johnson may resemble Donald Trump in appearance and governing style, leaning toward populism, misinformation and derogatory statements about marginalized communities such as LGBT people and Muslims.
Johnson has been an aggressive critic of the EU, campaigning in 2016 for Brexit in an infamous bus with the phrase “We send the EU £350 million a week, let’s fund our NHS instead, vote leave.” A claim which, among many other experts, the UK Statistics Authority called misleading at best. Johnson said he will continue to work towards a deal to avoid a ‘crash-out’ or ‘nodeal’ Brexit.

EPIC Charter schools investigated by state officials
State investigators claim the largest virtual charter school in Oklahoma, EPIC Charter Schools embezzled millions of dollars from the state by falsely inflating enrollment numbers with “ghost students,” students existing in documentation only.
These claims came out July 16 after the investigation began in mid-February. It has been reported by homeschooling parents that EPIC offered family’s money for enrolling their children in their charter schools, schools that receive state funding per student enrolled.
EPIC was investigated by the OSBI in 2013 as well on charges of fraud though no announcements on the case were made. Shelly Hickman, Assistant Superintendent of Communications for EPIC Charter Schools said because of annual audits from the Department of Education, she is confident there was no wrongdoing by EPIC and that this is an attack from ‘status quo education lobbying groups.’

When They See Us is a heartbreaking story that follows the lives of four black teenagers Kevin Richardson, 14, Antron McCray, 15, Korey Wise, 16, Yusef Salaam, 15 and one Hispanic teenager, Raymond Santana Jr., 14. These boys were known as the Central Park Five and would be found guilty and jailed for a crime they never committed. They were coerced by the police and detectives into lying about the assault and rape of a 28-year-old female jogger named Trisha Meili, at New York’s Central Park back in the spring of 1989. There was a group of around

30 teenagers hanging out in Central Park who had assaulted strangers in the park as part of an activity that the police said the teenagers referred to as “wilding.” Richardson and Santana were the first to be taken in by police on reports of intimidating behavior and muggings. McCray, Salaam and Wise were taken in the following day. Wise wasn’t considered a suspect at the time because he wasn’t in Central Park that night, but he wanted to offer moral support to his friend Salaam.
Focus soon shifted to the jogger Meili, and the five boys were interrogated for at least seven hours without their parents, before four made videotaped confessions to detectives. All admitted they touched or restrained Meili while one or more of the others assaulted her. After two trials, the five teenagers were found guilty of offenses including attempted murder, rape, assault and robbery, and were convicted of six to 13 years in prison. Richardson, McCray, Santana Jr. and Salaam went to juvenile detention centers, while Korey Wise, 16, was tried as an adult and sent straight to prison, where he served 11.5 years. The five men were eventually cleared of all crimes when the real culprit Matias Reyes, came forward and admitted to the assault, attempted murder, rape and robbery of Meili.
The Central Park Five then, became the exonerated five. What these men went through is unjustifiable. Ava

Annabelle Comes Home Movie Review
Director: Gary Dauberman
Annabelle Comes Home is the third Annabelle movie and the seventh film in The Conjuring horror franchise. This horror flick isn’t going to have you on the edge of your seat screaming, but the film does have a couple of jump scares that will definitely catch your attention. Although this is a horror film, it has a great story line, it begins with Ed and Lorraine Warren picking up where they left off from the first Annabelle movie made back in 2014. Spoiler Alert! The Warrens took Anabelle to their artifact room where they keep all of their possessed arti-
facts, and locked the possessed doll in a glass cabinet where it was never to be seen again. The Warrens left their home for a couple of days and hired a babysitter to look after their daughter, Judy. The babysitter’s best friend came over to figure out if the paranormal actually exists, and she thought where else to find that out, than in the household. Her father was killed in a car accident and she was the driver, which led her to believe the accident was all her fault. Harboring all of this guilt, she went down into the artifact room and asked for her father’s spirit to come forth. She received a sign, but it wasn’t from her father, it was from Annabelle. She unlocked the glass cabinet and Annabelle was set free and since the doll is a conduit for ultimate evil, she also sets every ghost and demon in the artifact room free as well. The remainder of the movie was about the babysitter, her friend and Judy trying to find Annabelle along with the key to the cabinet, so they could lock Annabelle back up before the Warrens returned home. This film is perfect for horror and paranormal movie lovers. Although it is not an absolutely terrifying movie to watch, I believe the audience will enjoy it because of its story content. Also, another reason to watch this film is because this was possibly the last film Lorraine Warren had anything to do with before her passing back in April 2019.
