There are nearly 50 campus clubs and organizations available to you, along with

an upperclassman about what it means to be a Ranger, and you will fully understand
the Northwestern experience.
Does this sound like your kind of dream?

Being chosen as
Miss Northwestern
2014 has been a
blessing. The love
and support I have
received through
the faculty, the
students, and
the community is overwhelming!
Everyone at Northwestern is
welcoming, helpful, and motivating,
and that’s why I call it my home. I
love this school, the people, and the
academic advances I have received
here. I cannot imagine going to
school anywhere else. Having the
opportunity to proudly represent our
Northwestern campus at the Miss
Oklahoma Pageant was an honor and
the opportunity of a lifetime. Ride,

Rivalry games are always the best games to cheer
at, but the NWOSU vs SWOSU game was unlike
anything I have ever experienced. It was awesome
to see how many students came out to show their
support for the basketball team. The atmosphere
was so exciting and the energy in the gym was
unreal! That’s what Northwestern is all about!
Northwestern is more than just a school. It is a
place that enables you to feel at home and accept-
ed. Northwestern is like a family. The professors re-
ally look out for you and go out of their way to help

#NWMyStory: So many things in my life today can be traced back to
my time at NWOSU -- the family that I added, the life-long friends that
were made and the career I’ve pursued. NWOSU gave me a passion for
my education, even being encouraged to continue that education into
graduate school and ultimately a Master’s degree. So many late nights
in the dorms, at student ministries, in the newsroom and in the office.
709 Oklahoma Blvd. will always be a special place in my life.
~ Eric Scott, 2007 mass communication graduate
“Being a Ranger means...having access to a great science program
led by a brilliant team of professors, which sharpens critical thinking
skills and increases involvement in the community. It means being a
future leader with timeless friends and tireless professors to support
you on the way.” #BeARanger
~ Gabriel Dunbar, Enid post-graduate
“I’ve been at Northwestern for 3 years. I’ve met some of the most
memorable people I’ve EVER met in my life. Coming from a big city
(Houston,TX) to a small town really chiseled me into the man I am
today. I truly found who I am, and I am truly thankful for NState.
#RRR.”
~ Derrick Thompson, Houston, Texas, sophomore
“Being a Ranger means... Forever being a part of a family, no matter
what you do or where you go.” #BeARanger
~ Nicole Sidders, NWOSU Alumni
“#NWFunClass: Fundamentals of Two Dimensional Art and News
Reporting. The art class can teach you all kinds of fun ways to
express yourself and have fun with many different art techniques.
News Reporting will help you in many ways -- being able to write up
a simple news release for any group you are associated with and
how to make it a more printable article.”
~ Angelia Case, NWOSU Alumni
“#NWFunClass: Marriage and Family with Dr. (Mark) Davis. Who
knew I would learn so many life-lessons in this class? Plus, Dr.
Davis always handed out snacks!”
~ Kaylyn Hansen, NWOSU Alumni
“The #NWFunClass I took was Intro to Mass Comm... taking one
class turned into a complete major change! #MassCommAlum.”
~ Chesnei Thomas, NWOSU Alumni
“Being a Ranger is far more than going to Northwestern, it is about
having pride in your school and yourself, never giving up no matter
how many times you have been knocked down, and being a family.”
#RRR #RANGERPRIDE #BeARanger
~ Austin Maly, Prague junior
“To me, Being a Ranger means having a family that values
Commitment, Community and a tireless pursuit of knowledge! I have
been given opportunities at Northwestern that I could not have had
anywhere else and accomplished so much during my time here. Go
Rangers!”
~ Luci O’Hara Riggin, Tulsa senior, transferred to NWOSU in January 2013
We asked our followers via social media questions using the hashtags #BeARanger, #NWMyStory, #NWFunClass, and #NWMemories. Below, and
throughout the book, are some of the responses we received:
“I’m truly blessed and honored to be given the
opportunity to work in the Office of Recruitment
for #NWOSU and be one of the few featured
Rangers. It’s the best decision I’ve made so
far, and I only hope for continued success
for this university and as a student here at
Northwestern.”

Your college education and experiences will be whatever you make them to be. We’d love for you to become an active member on
campus, so you may want to join a campus club/organization or start one of your own! (see list below) There also are a number of
student activities like plays, concerts, sporting events, community service projects or merely socializing in the cafeteria to keep you
entertained. We just want you to know there is more to your college education than classes, your books and playing video games in
your room. So, get out there and be all that you can be!
I’ve had a great first year of college thanks to
NWOSU. I’ve always had diverse interests and
due to the wonderful support of this university
I’ve been able to pursue many endeavors. I’ve
been a part of theatrical productions, written
dozens of articles for the paper, was active
with PLC, am officially a student ambassador,
work for the recruitment office, have pursued
community service endeavors, entered writing
competitions... Like I said, diverse interests. I
was able to do all of this because of the amazing
staff and students at NWOSU who have given
me these opportunities. I’m forever grateful for
the generosity and kind spirit of these people.
I’m so grateful for the amazing friends I’ve
made and many experiences from this year.

Developing the leadership potential in each student is an important part of the educational process at Northwestern. Through
leadership courses as part of our general education program and by participating in special programs such as the President’s
Leadership Class for freshmen and the Chesapeake Scholars/Leadership Northwestern program for upperclassmen, all students are
given the opportunity to develop qualities that will prepare them for leadership and service roles on campus, in their communities and
in their professions.
#Leadership
Northwestern has a long
history of graduates who
have utilized the leadership
skills honed here to become
leaders at the highest levels
of business, public service
and our armed forces. I
hope you will be the next
outstanding leader to represent
Northwestern.
Dr. Janet Cunningham
President and Alumna of Northwestern
My time at Northwestern has been nothing
less than amazing! When I first came, I did not
know what to expect. I quickly found out that
this was home. Between the amazing staff and
professors I have never felt more in place. At
Northwestern Oklahoma State University I have
been able to not only further my education, but
also my leadership skills. I have been able to be
involved in Student Government, Northwestern
Student Ambassadors, CORE, REAL, and
intramural sports. I have also been able to be
a Ranger Connector and a Resident Assistant.
No other campus would allow me be apart of
so much, and still have time to make life-long
friends! Northwestern was the best decisions
that I have made! I have had the time of my life
and cannot wait for my senior year as a Ranger!

“Home is where the heart is, and Northwestern Oklahoma
State is a place with heart. It’s about family, it’s about
friends, it’s about a support network. We have that in Marine
Corps., but this place has it over any place that I’ve ever
been... Some of the senior leaders in our Corps come from
the naval academy, the ivy league schools on the east
coast, but I’ve always been proud to be from a small college
in the heartland of America, where people learn values
such as responsibility, hard work, and what it takes to do
a good job. You can take an education from Northwestern
Oklahoma State and compete in any big company or
organization in America. The people here have heart.”
~ Maj. Gen. Vaughn A. Ary, Staff judge advocate to the Commandant of
the Marine Corps and Director, Judge Advocate Division
“Northwestern was everything to me.”
~ Patrick Crayton, NFL Football Player from DeSoto, Texas
Drafted in the NFL’s 7th round in 2004 by the Dallas Cowboys. Played

~ Dr. Brock Schnebel, U.S. Olympic Physician, (1996 Atlanta and 2000
Sydney games). Lead team physician for the University of Oklahoma
football team and Physician at the McBride Clinic in Oklahoma City.
“I received scholarship money from Northwestern, and I
wanted to go to a small school so I could get hands-on
experience starting with my freshman year. I learned so
many things that I use in my business today.”
~ Nicolle (Rubenstein) Campbell, originally from Enid, Okla. Owner/The
Actor’s Scene in Buford, Ga. Won the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award

“Northwestern provided an excellent basis for my
technology career. The math instructors helped develop a
logical thought process that translated well into computer
languages. Northwestern also provides many opportunities
to interact with different people – different races, cultures,
religions, etc. It’s a great opportunity to learn relationship
building skills.”
~ Robert Reeg, President, MasterCard Technologies. MasterCard serves
consumers and businesses in more than 210 countries and territories.
“Northwestern helped to shape who I am today by teaching
me about the possibilities in the world and that a person
should never give up on their dreams.”

“Northwestern allowed me to live my dream by giving me a
chance to play a game I loved at another level and further
my education. Now, and more importantly, it’s allowing me
to see my kids chase their dreams, and I cannot imagine it
happening at a better place.”
~ Dustin Miller, past Ranger basketball player & member of Sports
Hall of Fame. Currently is the assistant community service director for
