This study focused on instructor’s self-disclosure of feminist beliefs to build a body of research focusing on the revelation of beliefs in the classroom. Therefore, this study adds to our conceptual understanding of self-disclosure and is valuable to feminist instructors as well as other instructors who are not sure how to self-disclose their belief in the classroom.

  • Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene
    (RUSSELLVILLE, AR)---Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene University have accepted provisional membership invitations into the NCAA Division II Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene is a private liberal arts university affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene and is located in Bethany, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City. Northwestern Oklahoma State is a member of the Regional University System of Oklahoma, as are GAC members East Central University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University. NWOSU is located in Alva, Oklahoma. Both institutions are currently members of the NAIA's Sooner Athletic Conference and the Central States Football League. Each school will gain full GAC status upon completing the three-year NCAA Division II membership process. SNU and NWOSU will not compete in the GAC in the 2011-12 academic year, but it is anticipated that the pair will be added to conference schedules for the 2012-13 season. Both programs bring a legacy of athletic success to the Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene has captured ten NAIA national titles, including seven in women's basketball. Squads representing the Crimson Storm have also recorded a pair of women's golf national championships and a men's basketball crown. SNU's athletic department fields teams in 17 NCAA-recognized sports. Northwestern Oklahoma State boasts a strong football tradition. The Rangers earned the 1999 NAIA football championship and have held the number one ranking in that association eleven times since the start of the 2000 season. NWOSU varsity squads compete in eleven sports. A GAC visit team, led by Southwestern Oklahoma State University president Randy Beutler, made trips to both campuses in April.

  • Cameron University Undergraduate Catalog 2009-2011
    2 PREFACE This catalog provides information about the academic programs of Cameron University. It also contains information concerning admissions, academic regulations and requirements, services available to C A M E R O N students, academic offerings and a list of the administrative officers and faculty of the University. While every effort has been made to make this catalog as complete and accurate as possible, changes may occur at any time in requirements, deadlines, fees, curricula and courses listed in this catalog. All such changes U N I V E R S I T Y are effective at such time as the proper institutional authorities determine and may apply not only to prospective students but also to those who are already enrolled in the University. This catalog should not be construed as a contract between Cameron and any person. The courses listed in a curriculum are required, but the display of a curriculum does not in any way indicate the length of time required for a student to finish degree requirements. Rather, this display is intended as a guide to indicate the preferred order for completion of degree requirements. Exceptions to certain requirements may be petitioned through proper academic channels. Because this catalog was prepared well in advance of its effective date, the course descriptions may differ in some instances from actual content taught in some courses, due to advancements in the discipline or decisions to change the scope of the course. Thus, the descriptions that follow are not provided in the nature of a contractual obligation. Some of the newer courses and changes in courses are included in this catalog pending their approval by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
