2013 SWOSU Foundation, Inc. Annual Report SWOSU Foundation Annual Report 2013 Southwestern Oklahoma State University Foundation, Inc. Letter from the Chair Dear SWOSU Supporters: On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my pleasure to present this annual report and thank you for your support. During 2013, the board welcomed two new trustees: George Cohlmia and Brice Harris. These past SWOSU graduates are strongly committed to Southwestern and we anticipate we will value their experience and insights. Through your continued support and the returns on your donations, we were able to grant over 250 scholarships in 2013-2014. Today the assets of the Foundation total $22,113,785. State funding for the University’s operating budget has dropped from 82% in 1984 to the current 43.1%. To help the institution maintain its growth, it is vital that private support consistently increase. Our Empowered2Xcel campaign goals will be increasing funds for our main priorities – students, programs, technology, facilities and future endowments. We are excited to lay this groundwork and to realize the vision and mission of the SWOSU Foundation. Thanks again, Jim Mogg Chair – Board of Trustees Southwestern Oklahoma State University Southwestern Oklahoma State University Foundation, Inc.

  • Overview of Water and Related Resources Part 2
    Overview of Water and Related Resources Part 2 Natural Resource & Socioeconomic Characteristics n almost endless array of environmental and socioeconomic characteristics -- including climate, geography, geology, minerals, soils, agriculture, wildlife, recreation, archeology, commerce population and employment -- which affect the current and future availability and use of Oklahomas surface and groundwater supplies. A CLIMATE Climate, along with geography, has a profound influence on water resources and hydrologic characteristics in Oklahoma, which lies across two divergent climatic regions. The states relatively long distance from the moderating effect of the oceans and an absence of mountains to the north often allows cold arctic winds to reach Oklahoma during the winter, which is normally short and mild. In the spring, large thunderstorms develop when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico converges with colder northern, humid eastern and dry western air masses, often producing tornadoes and large hail. Summers in Oklahoma are usually long and hot, punctuated by droughts of varying degree and duration. Fall, though often wet, normally features mild days and cool nights. May ranks as the wettest month while January is the driest. Annual rainfall (Figure 7) varies from more than 50 inches in the relatively warm and humid pine forests of the Ouachita Mountains in southeast Oklahoma to approximately 16 inches in the high plains of the western Panhandle where warm days and cool nights predomi- nate. The state-averaged precipitation is 33.5 inches. The temperatures in Oklahoma (Figure 8) vary from approximately 54 to 62 degrees Fahrenheit from west to east with a state average of 60.5 degrees.

    ^ bHAnüt íjEMPLOYMENT GROWTH IN THE OZARKS STATES, 1960-70 U.S. DEPARTMENT IN UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL OF AGRICULTURE COOPERATION OF MISSOURI ECONOMIC ECONOMIC WITH AGRICULTURAL REPORT NO. 269 RESEARCH SERVICE EXPERIMENT STATION EMPLOYMENT GROWTH IN THE OZARKS STATES, 1960-70. By John A. Kuehn. Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the University of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station. Agricultural Economic Report No. 269. ABSTRACT Despite the overall slower employment growth from 1960 to 1970 in four Ozarks States, compared to the national average, employment in 84 counties grew faster than the national rate. Much of the growth was based on interregional shifts in various manufacturing categories. Many rural counties experienced this growth, and metropolitan stature was neither necessary nor sufficient for growth to occur. Stage of industrial development was not predictive of future growth. Many counties experienced changes in employment structure from agri- culture to manufacturing, trades, and services.
