Hello CAS Faculty and Staff, We are excited to announce that CAS is hosting its inaugural golf scramble at Karsten Creek Golf Club on April 25, with net proceeds benefiting CAS students through the Dean’s Excellence Fund! The Dean’s Excellence Fund is used to address the greatest needs across the college, including scholarships. Golf scramble participants will have the opportunity to meet Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, founder of Folds of Honor, a former F-16 pilot, golf course owner, PGA professional and USGA member. Register by March 15 for Early Bird Pricing: Individual registration is $300 per person, and full teams registration is $1,100 ($275 per person). Registration includes a round of golf, lunch, awards and OSU swag. Everyone will also have a chance to win the longest drive and closest to the pin competitions. Participants must be 18 or older. You can help in a couple of ways. First, please share this information with your alumni and industry partners. A personal invitation from someone in their home department will go a long way. Secondly and even more fun, form a team and register today! For more information, to register or to become a sponsor, visit okla.st/cas-golf-scramble. Go Pokes!

Language Learning Center provides fun, stress-free environment for students
|
A cacophony of voices fill the room on the first floor of Gundersen Hall. Some are fluent, others not so much, but that doesn’t matter in the new Language Learning Center. It is a Thursday afternoon, which means the Oklahoma State University Spanish Club is in session. More than a dozen students sprawl through the big, open space either working on homework, talking to a tutor or even just chatting with friends. |
