community engagement

Around 130 McLain High School students ranging from grades 9 to 12 came to Oklahoma State University-Tulsa for a pre-collegiate conference hosted on Oct. 22.

Students attended a variety of sessions of their choice designed to teach important skills for succeeding after high school. Session subjects included College Basics, First Generation Experience (with sessions in either English or Spanish), Greek Life, Social Media and Self-Compassion.

The Center for Poets and Writers at OSU-Tulsa is celebrating its fifth annual Writers on Greenwood event Nov. 4, 2021 with poets Clemonce Heard and Tyehimba Jess.

At 5 p.m., Jess will lead a craft talk for writers. At 7:30 p.m., both poets will present a reading and conversation followed by a book signing with Fulton Street Books in the OSU-Tulsa auditorium.

Oklahoma State University-Tulsa helped 443 Tulsa-area families of pre-kindergarten through 12^th grade students prepare for school in a “drive-thru” Back to School Bash during the first week of classes.

The line of cars at the event crowded beyond OSU-Tulsa’s Parking Lot A, spilling onto Greenwood Avenue.
