The leader I’ve chosen is V. Burns Hargis, the 18th President of Oklahoma State University. He was named the president in December 2007 and is only the second OSU graduate to serve as the university’s president. President Hargis holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Oklahoma State University and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. Before being named the President of OSU, Hargis led a distinguished law and business career. He was also community minded and displayed…

speculation, the same plan Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders supports. According to Tami Luhby, to pay for it, the government would impose 0.5% fee on stock trades, 0.1% fee on bonds and a 0.005% fee on derivatives. This would raise up to $300 billion a year, according to Warren Gunnels, citing a 2012 University of Massachusetts Amherst report.

Students are constantly pushed to reach the near…

With the idea of providing and promoting higher educational information and motivation to the teenagers in the YMCA program, one goal is for those attending this university tour is to want to imitate and realize the positives of attending a higher education institution. Those giving the tour should represent individuals engaging in the particular behavior of attending college, so that the teenagers can directly…

questions because I feared I was not smart enough or that I got into this school because my low-income school was “too easy.” The first time I went to office hours, I was shy and embarrassed. Who am I to expect an adult employed by such a great university would humor me and listen to my questions? It wasn’t until I built a support system…

Activities like managing a big part of my school's environmental club and leading a number of students has helped me develop bonds between them. Most of the people I deal with have different cultures than mine, therefore my exposure to different minds has had an effect on me. A positive effect actually.I always push my boundaries when it comes to learning or exploring something…

during that time but I was not able to receive help because I did not open up to anyone. My mother was not able to get through to me because I was ultimately embarrassed and did not want her to be worried about me. My mother and I share a very close bond, but I never wanted to feel like I was a burden to…
