New buildings going up at OSU enhance the learning experience in many ways — even offering some students an opportunity to get involved with the process. The work done in real-world conditions in labs better prepares CEAT students for their careers. The renovated Colvin Center is the well-being heart of America’s Healthiest Campus ™. Traditions at America’s Greatest Homecoming include the dyeing of the library fountain. Orange Power! Speaking of Orange Power, the student section at Boone Pickens Stadium is a sea of orange on home football game days. OSU remembers and honors fallen members of the military on Veterans Day every year. Studying includes more than merely hitting the books. Sewing is among the many skills the students who study apparel merchandising in the College of Education and Human Sciences hone during their education. Collaboration is key to success in the classroom and in life. OSU’s residence halls offer a variety of options for a student’s home away from home.
