Focus Spring 2004 News All Photographs This Page by Ann Sherman Spring 2004 Oklahoma City University’s GEAR-UP program and the university’s Art Club organized an effort to beautify the campus by painting over graffiti on the wall surrounding the construction site for the Wanda L. Bass Music Center. Art majors from Professor Bruce Macella’s graphic design class supervised the project. Education majors from Professor Linda Hibbs’s class volunteered to help. Students from Coolidge Elementary School did much of the painting under the supervision of students from John Wesley High School, who participated as a service-learning project. Three of the school teachers involved with the project were alumni: Lora Hawkins-Carter, ‘01 Bachelor of Fine Arts in studio art and ’03 Master of Education (now pursuing a Master of Criminal Justice Administration at the university); James Cobb, ’03 Master of Liberal Arts; and J.L. Dye Jr., ’03 Bachelor of Science in elementary education. (photographs by Ann Sherman) Features Focus Magazine Editor Robert K.

We dedicated an addition to the Norick Art Center and the Ann Lacy Admissions and Visitor Center. Our third annual Light the Campus celebration was glorious. On January 27 we celebrated our first official centennial event, the dedication of the new Meinders School of Business. Since then, we have seen: scores of senior high school students on campus for Spotlight Day, a heart-warming address to a capacity crowd at the Freede center by Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the National Women Law Students’ Association’s national conference hosted on campus with Janet Reno as the keynote speaker, and an uplifting weekend celebrating the Centennial Powwow with our Native American alumni and friends. Most recently Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was the featured centennial speaker at the School of Law on April 12. The university conferred on O’Connor an honorary Doctor of Laws. As you will read in the main feature of this issue of Focus Magazine, our student pop- ulation is growing – and growing more diverse. Thanks to the many ways we are reach- ing out to the community, the entire OCU family reaps the benefit of the many wonderful cultural backgrounds and different perspectives our students, employees, and trustees bring to the table.

Our centennial commencement exer- cises in May will have three inspiring speakers. In June we will officially kick off the $100 million Centennial Campaign for Oklahoma City University, reporting on our progress so far, new pledges, and the vision for the next century. All of this is prelude, of course, to a truly spectacular fall, which will include the Celebration of the Century in September, the Centennial Regatta on October 2, Homecoming and Light the Campus in November, and a Christmas extravaganza in December. Please plan to visit our campus during our centennial. This year promises to be the most exciting in the history of Oklahoma City University. I look forward to seeing you. Sincerely, Tom J.

Milton W, Reynolds, early Oklahoma pioneer ill PREFACE In December, 1892, the editor of the Oklahoma School Herald urged fellow Oklahomans to keep accurate records for the benefit of posterity* "There is a time coming, if the facts can be preserved," he noted, "when the pen of genius and eloquence will take hold of the various incidents con­ nected with the settlement of what will then be the magnifi» cent state of Oklahoma and weave them into a story that will verify the proverb that truth is more wonderful than fic­ tion." While making no claim to genius or eloquence, I have attempted to fulfill the editor's dream by treating the Anglo-American settlement of Oklahoma Territory from 1889 to statehood in 1907» with emphasis upon social and cultural developments* It has been my purpose not only to describe everyday life but to show the role of churches, schools, and newspapers, as well as the rise of the medical and legal professions* My treatment of these salient aspects does not profess to tell the complete story of life in Oklahoma.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Throughout the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s 131-year history, when difficult challenges arise, the Chamber has stepped forward to tackle issues while looking for new opportunities to build for the future. When COVID-19 hit the OKC area in March, the impacts to our business community were immediate, and for many devastating. The Chamber began immediately doing everything possible to provide information, identify potential support and look for any possible opportunity to help businesses losing revenue due to this monumental shift. At the same time, we never took our eye off the ball, keeping a strong focus on the future of Oklahoma City. Preparing for the new convention center and post-pandemic push for tourism growth, supporting local business expansion and recruiting new companies to the region, advocating for business at our state capitol, and helping to bring businesses together for virtual networking and information. This report highlights our efforts this year, but is certainly not an exhaustive list of the work we have accomplished together. Our membership can be proud of what we have done together and confident that we can continue to imagine a bright future.
