The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma

Under normal circumstances, if a group of 11 USAO graduates are together, there must be an Alumni Association event. But this happens everyday at Tate Publishing in Mustang, where more than 10 percent of the publishing company’s workforce are alums of the University of Science and Arts.

"I don't know what you guys are doing at USAO, but you need to bottle it. You are turning out top-tier talent with a great work ethic," said Dave Dolphin, director of book production at Tate.

A person's signature is defined as a distinctive form of identification in authorizing a check or document. Two USAO graduates and five graduating fine arts majors at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma will let their art define them during Signature, the spring bachelor of fine arts art exhibit at the university.

Nine students at the University of Science and Arts were honored March 11 as they were initiated in Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education.

"We are proud of these initiates," said Dr. Jeanne Mather, sponsor of the group and professor of education at USAO. "Each has excelled in college, understands the importance of being a life-long learner, and is expected to be an outstanding educator, one who will truly make a difference in her students’ lives."

The sounds of spring are in the air -- birds singing, lawnmowers running and the Concert Choir at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma getting ready for its spring concert March 31.

The Concert Choir's spring concert is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. in the Davis Hall Theatre on the USAO campus. The concert is free and the public is invited.
