The English, foreign language and humanities department hosted the Visiting Writer series last week, this event had invited a writer that was familiar with Oklahoma to come and share some of their work with students.
Events like this are a great opportunity for students to explore different ideas of life.
While in college students are being shown so many different things that they might not be able to guide themselves through everything alone. This event allows students to get a new sort of experience that thy didn’t have before.
It allows students to see someone who likely grew up in the same sort of scene that they have and it is a welcoming environment for students to ask questions for answers.
Events like the Visiting Writer series expand a student’s knowledge and it invites students to think about their own life and beliefs.
In any event that the departments at Northwestern Oklahoma State University put on the main focus is what can the students get out of this.
This university cares about giving the students different ways to learn about anything.
Students shouldn’t be afraid to attend these events especially if they are connected to their interest. These events are welcoming to any students despite their majors.
Clubs also host events that students should go and enjoy like the Creativity Fest that was hosted by Sigma Tau Delta and Writer’s Roundtable. This event encouraged students to get out of their comfort zones and share whatever the have been working on.
Many departments on campus host events that students are encouraged to attend. These events welcome students to learn more, see different lifestyles and get a better understanding on how life works around them.
The department of social sciences just recently hosted their presidential election series where they talked about President William McKinley and the state of Ohio. This event encouraged students to search for information on how things run in our country and what makes some states more important than others.
Every department encourages students to attend events despite the students not being a major of a certain field.
Professors understand just how important a student’s time at college is and they want students to get the best of it while here at Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
Students tend to just get into a grove while at college and don’t understand what all these events can do for them while they are here.
