September 19, 2007 $300,000 gift to Vision for Victory effort Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Vision for Victory campaign for athletics received its first major gift from private individuals as Todd and Mary Margaret Miller of Alva provided a gift of $300,000 to fund a major renovation of the University’s baseball stadium. The gift will create a new permanent seating area named in honor of Mary Margaret’s parents, W.D. Jr., and Lillie Myers. In addition to the seating area, the gift will construct new dugouts and create significantly more aesthetically pleasing areas surrounding the field. Read more...
September 11, 2007 set for school's anniversary Thursday On Sept. 20, 1897, Northwestern Normal School opened its doors and began teaching its first classes in the Congregational Church, which had been rented for $150 for the school year. Five days before classes were to begin, the State Board of Education considered 48 applicants for the office of president, choosing a young school administrator from Illinois, James E. Ament.
Northwestern, which became the second Oklahoma Territorial normal school – the first being in Edmond -- boasted an initial enrollment of about 58 students, but that number grew to 70 by the end of September and 100 by early November. By the end of the first year, enrollment was 166, increasing the concern to have a building to house the growing population. This first building, erected on a 40-acre tract of land donated by J.T. Fryer and affectionately named “The Castle on the Hill,” was first occupied by 413 students and 10 faculty on Sept. 11, 1899, almost a year after its construction had begun. Northwestern had more students at that time than any other school of higher education in the territory, including Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College in Stillwater, the Territorial Normal School in Edmond, the University of Oklahoma and Langston University. To celebrate Northwestern’s beginning 110 years ago while also celebrating the State of Oklahoma’s 100th anniversary, Northwestern Oklahoma State University has planned several special activities for Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007, in which the university community and the surrounding areas are welcome to participate.

September 9, 2007 The stone and a copper time capsule behind it will be removed and the stone rededicated at a ceremony beginning at 1 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 20, as part of the university’s First Day of Class Celebration. This event is part of activities planned for the 110th anniversary of Northwestern and the centennial of Oklahoma statehood. Northwestern’s first day of classes was Sept. 20, 1897. The rededication ceremony, held at the northeast corner of Fine Arts, will be conducted by the Masonic Grand Master, Charles Dick of Yukon, and will include other Grand Lodge officials and university officials, including Dr. Janet Cunningham, president; Dr. Steve Lohmann, executive vice president; and Dr. Mike Knedler, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences.

September 18, 2007 dual admission agreement Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Northern Oklahoma College today approved a dual admission program that will provide additional educational opportunities and services to students who wish to enroll at both institutions.

September 14, 2007 Colorful buttons designed for Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s homecoming celebration will go on sale Tuesday. Friends of the university will have the opportunity to buy the buttons as a way of supporting the annual event, this year scheduled for Oct. 4, 5 and 6. 
Button sales chair Monica Schmidt said members of her button-sales team and members of the Homecoming General Committee will meet at noon on Tuesday in the Northwestern Student Center to kickoff the sales campaign. Schmidt will distribute packets of buttons to her sales staff, and the group will set sales goals. “Homecoming really puts the spotlight on Alva and Northwestern,” Schmidt said. “The event brings a lot of visitors to the town, and it’s important that the whole community supports homecoming. One of the best ways to do that is to buy buttons and provide the financial foundation to keep the celebration going.” Read more... September 14, 2007
