Nearly 400 middle and high school students and their advisers were on the Northwestern Oklahoma State University Alva campus recently for the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils (OASC) District 11 fall leadership conference.
Northwestern’s Scholar Ambassadors (NSA) and members of the Alva High School Student Council teamed up to organize this event and worked on this student-led event since July.
“It is a great opportunity for Northwestern Oklahoma State University to play host to the District 11 Oklahoma Association of Student Council Conference,” Calleb Mosburg, dean of student affairs and enrollment management, said.
“OASC and Northwestern have a great partnership with hosting the summer OASC BASIC Workshops, and this event is another great opportunity for this partnership.
Tylar Thompson, admissions counselor/recruitment coordinator in the Northwestern Office of Recruitment, spoke to the students about the quality of education they could receive at Northwestern along with the lower cost advantages.
She then announced the Northwestern scholarship winners. Jackeline Bautista from Alva High School won the $250 scholarship while Aspen Freeman from Balko High School won the $500 scholarship.
