September 10-11, 2021
OMA Alumni Association Reunion
Rogers State University
Dear OMA Alumni,
I think of you each morning when I arrive on campus. It is such an exciting time now since we have rescheduled the OMA Alumni Reunion for September 10 and 11, 2021.
We have 16 students in the Guard Officers Leadership Development (GOLD) program. This is the largest number ever. Thanks to so many of you in the OMA Alumni Association, these military students have much needed financial assistance from the scholarship funds you have generously given to them. This is huge because they do not have to take out so many loans.
Some of the most exciting news is that the OMA Alumni Board, led by our President, Ken Colley, class of ’69, has voted to move forward to update and restore the OMA Museum. We will be raising funds for this effort and can use OMA Alumni Museum funds that we have saved over the years for the restoration and to match funds given by those of you that can help.
Maybe the best news is that we are working on all the plans for the OMA Alumni Reunion, September 10 and 11, 2021. Please REPORT to the HILL!
Please call, text or email me anytime. I can register you for the Reunion.

Executive Director OMA Alumni Association
