  • Spring 2019 Candidates Won a Prestrigious National Scholarship During Their OSU Undergraduate and Graduate Studies
    Spring Commencement 2019 May 10 & 11 History of Oklahoma State University The story of Oklahoma State University began on Christmas Eve, 1890, at the McKennon Opera House in Oklahoma’s territorial capital of Guthrie when Territorial Governor George W. Steele signed legislation establishing an Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (OAMC) in Payne County. OAMC’s first students assembled for class on December 14, 1891, even though there were no buildings, no books, and no curriculum. The college’s first students attended classes in the Stillwater Congregational Church. The original campus consisted of 200 acres of prairie that were donated by four local homesteaders. The college’s first six graduates received their diplomas in 1896. Visitors to the OSU campus often marvel at its beauty and consistency of architecture. Much of the credit goes to legendary president, Henry G. Bennett, who served from 1928-1951. Dr. Bennett’s 25-year campus master plan envisioned some of the university’s most famous and beautiful structures, including the Edmon Low Library and the OSU Student Union. Under the direction of OSU President Burns Hargis, a new campus master plan is guiding unprecedented construction that is making OSU more competitive in academics and athletics. Starting in the fall of 2008, OSU has opened the Multimodal Transportation Terminal, the North Classroom Building, the west end zone of Boone Pickens Stadium, refurbished Old Central, the Donald W. Reynolds Architecture Building, an upgraded Murray Hall, the Henry Bellmon Research Center, an updated and expanded Student Union, the Greenwood Tennis Center, the north wing to the College of Human Sciences building, an upgraded Atherton Hotel in the Student Union, the innovative University Commons residential complex and dining facility, the crescent-shaped business building, and the world-class ENDEAVOR facility for interdisciplinary research.
