Thousands of people -- students and faculty mentors from 435 different colleges and universities -- will soon arrive from all parts of the country to participate in the National Conference on Undergraduate Research(NCUR). Talk about a High-Impact Practice! Classes are pre-empted April 5th and 6th so that all of us may participate and contribute to the fullest extent possible. The College is well represented at all levels, from Dr. Michael Springer, co-chair of the event, to faculty ambassadors, student presenters of keynote speakers, and nearly 100 students and dozens of faculty mentors. I hope you will take advantage of this singular event and encourage your students, as well. Enrollment gets underway this month, too! Our five Student Success Advisers stand ready to assist Liberal Arts majors in their preparations for Fall 2018, but I know that many more of you promote courses, minors, and majors and assist students in finding their academic paths. It would not hurt to remind students that Enrollment is upon us and that they have resources available to them as they work through their options.

  • ~Z:V.K Abstract Approved: Laf D the Civil War Conjures up Images Ofbattles Like Gettysburg, Emancipation, Or Soldiers Clad in Blue and Gray
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Eric Neill Oldham for the Master of Arts in American History presented on April 22, 2002 Title: A FOrgottend2le: The LO Creeks and Their Trials during the Civil War ~ ~Z:v.k Abstract approved: LAf d The Civil War conjures up images ofbattles like Gettysburg, emancipation, or soldiers clad in blue and gray. Historians write about great leaders and heroic soldiers, but still some figures go almost unconsidered. A forgotten people by many, the Loyal Creeks have their own story of the Civil War. This thesis uses both primary and secondary sources to create a historical narrative about the Loyal Creeks and shows their trials during the Civil War. Creeks struggled over question of allegiance and alliance as much as Americans, a struggle which culminated in a tragic and ultimately deadly intertribal split. This thesis reveals the reasons for the Creek split. The story of the Loyal Creeks did not end with the wartime division of the Creek Nation. The division forced those who remained loyal to the Union to abandon their homes and country. The Loyal Creeks escaped to Kansas in search of government refuge but found only a three-year struggle to survive at various refugee sites. Survival for the Loyal Creeks was a struggle because government aid was scarce at best. Hard, cold winters and lack of clothing, shelter, and food caused many of the Indians to die either from the elements or to become susceptible to disease that ultimately took untold lives. The Loyal Creeks' struggle with the government is not a new story, but combined with their intertribal split it is not only an important event in Indian history but in American history as well.

  • Passion. Grit. Persistence. in 1949 Historian Angie Debo Wrote: "Any
    Passion. Grit. Persistence. Rilla Askew In 1949 historian Angie Debo wrote: "Any state of the American Union deserves to be known and understood. But Oklahoma is more than just another state. It is a lens in which the long rays of time are focused into the brightest of light. In its magnifying clarity, dim facets of the American character stand more clearly revealed. For in Oklahoma all the experiences that went into the making of the nation have been speeded up. Here all the American traits have been intensified. The one who can interpret Oklahoma can grasp the meaning of America in the modern world." Some fifty years later I wrote an essay called “Most American” that said very much the same thing: “Oklahoma is America. We are its microcosm, our story is America’s story, intensified, distilled…a compressed, ironically inverted miniature of the national narrative, unfolding in a matter of days and weeks and months—sometimes hours—rather than decades.” Well, I thought I invented that. I thought I’d discovered that entirely on my own. I hadn’t read Angie Debo’s wonderful quotation then—but I had read her histories: The Rise and Fall of the Choctaw Nation. The Road to Disappearance. And Still the Waters Run. I kept her books open beside me as I wrote. She was a white woman writing from outside Native experience, trying to gather all the facts, glean all the truths she could muster, and understand. To be honest. To be thorough. Meticulous. Relentless. In so many ways, Angie Debo was a pioneer, from her pioneer childhood in a small town on the Oklahoma prairie, where she’d moved with her family in a covered wagon when she was nine years old, to her pioneering work as teacher, writer, historian.

  • Angie Debo the Words on Her Gravestone Sum up Her Life: “Historian, Discover the Truth and Publish It.”
    Angie Debo The words on her gravestone sum up her life: “Historian, discover the truth and publish it.” Chapter 01 – 1:35 Introduction Announcer: Oklahoma’s “greatest historian” was nine years old when she first set foot on Oklahoma soil on November 8, 1899, having arrived by covered wagon with her family from Kansas. About that day, Angie Debo said it was a beautiful golden autumn morning. “The sky was clear blue, and green wheat stretched to the horizon.” Her home town was Marshall, Oklahoma, which did not have a four-year high school before 1910. She was twenty-three when she graduated in 1913. Five years later, she earned a bachelor’s in history from the University of Oklahoma and in 1924 a Masters from the University of Chicago. She received a PhD. in history from Oklahoma in 1933. But even with a PhD, Angie Debo would never hold a position in a history department of a university, largely due to gender discrimination. Debo turned to writing American Indian History, and among her many discoveries, she learned that much of eastern Oklahoma was dominated by a criminal conspiracy to cheat Indians out of their property. Her findings were published under the title: And Still the Waters Run. She wrote, edited, or coauthored thirteen books in her lifetime. Angie Debo was 98 when she died February 21, 1988. Now listen to the story of Angie Debo as told by Dr. Patricia Loughlin, Professor of History and Chair in the Department of History at the University of Central Oklahoma. You will also hear the voice of Angie Debo herself in this oral history presentation on VoicesofOklahoma.com.
