Coast To Coast College Tour Coming To OKC The Coast to Coast College Tour is a joint travel partnership bringing together admissions representatives from Dartmouth College, Northwestern University, Princeton University, University of Southern California, and Vanderbilt University. They travel together because each of their institutions practices a holistic admissions process in a highly selective environment. This program will provide you with the opportunity to learn about each individual institution, and receive insight on navigating the selective admissions process. Meant as a brief introduction to the signature aspects of each institution, the bulk of the event will be spent sharing application advice, financial aid insights, and answering questions submitted by students in advance. Coast to Coast Information Session in Oklahoma City, OK Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 7:00-9:00 PM Casady School, Fee Theatre 9500 N Pennsylvania Ave Oklahoma City, OK 73120 Please use the Pennsylvania Ave entrance to enter campus.

JHS SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS THAT HAVE INTEREST IN ENGINEERING FIELD> SEE Information below from OU's College of Engineering about some upcoming opportunities for you My name is Dalton Brasington, and I am the Director of Outreach and Recruitment here at the Gallogly College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. I wanted to reach out this morning to share a great opportunity for rising high school juniors and seniors (graduating in 2026 or 2027) to learn more about engineering and higher education. Engineering Days are one-day, on-campus, summer programs taught by OU Engineering faculty and broken down into specific academic majors or content areas. These are days for students to come and learn about different engineering programs through hands-on experiments and demonstrations and working with OU faculty and students. Each day has a fee of $25, to cover the cost of supplies and food – and each day is capped at around 50 students. Students are welcome to sign-up for as many days as they are available for. After a day is full, it will no longer allow students to register for it – so if a student is interested in some of our larger dates – like mechanical, aerospace, biomedical and chemical engineering – we encourage them to register as soon as they can. Students can learn more online at: https://www.ou.edu/coe/explore/k-12-outreach/engineering-days Applications open on March 31, and will close on April 30.

Each grade level, from kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as an adult category, was assigned a different Oklahoma symbol to write about. The 10th grade focus was the bison. Hadley Waller earned 1st place in the 10th grade category, which awarded her a $75 cash prize. Additionally, she received the Overall Grand Prize, surpassing all other grade levels and the adult category (over 600 poems), resulting in an additional $100 prize!
