Nearly 20 high school aged students from the Cherokee Nation came to Rogers State University last month to learn about offerings on the Hill.
According to the Technology and Justice Studies Department Head Dr. Curtis Sparling, this is an annual visit from the Nation, at which, Cherokee students are exposed to academic studies and various activities and pursuits at the university.
Visitors participated in sessions throughout the day with overviews of the university’s Departments of History, Business, and Technology and Justice Studies, including available degree programs within each area. They also toured the campus, visited the Oklahoma Military Academy Museum on campus, learned about Dr. Sparling’s own military service, and experienced hands-on learning in cybersecurity, UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) and drones.
“We’re very honored that the Cherokee Nation continues to visit RSU each year,” Sparling said. “Their ongoing interest in what we offer reflects a shared commitment to supporting students.
“It’s a privilege to welcome these students to campus and provide an introduction to university life and the opportunities that come with it,” he said.
