Dedication for Green Space today, 5 p.m.
If the northwest corner of Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s campus could talk, it more than likely could share a number of stories about events and activities that have taken place there through the years.

On Tuesday, members of the campus and local community can witness one event in person as university and city officials dedicate the Green Space that was created following the demolition of Oklahoma Hall.

Everyone is welcome to gather at 5 p.m. at the Green Space area, which is at the corner of Eighth Street and Oklahoma Boulevard. Alva Mayor Arden Chaffee will join Dr. Janet Cunningham, university president, in sharing a few remarks about the area. Dr. Sandra Petree, associate professor of English, has written a special poem to commemorate the event. It will be read during the ceremony as well.  Read more...
