Let's Talk...Student Connectors

When I visited OC, all of the students and professors acted as if they knew me. They treated me like I was already a part of their community. After being here at OC, I know from personal experience that our community is even friendly than I thought it was when I was visiting.

I would love to be a children’s minister.  I adore children and have decided to dedicate my life to teaching them about the love of Jesus Christ.

I heard great things from my sister and other older people I looked up too. They loved OC and I wanted the same experience they had.

The famous OC ice storm when my friends and I went to play Frisbee Golf in the freezing cold with a foot of solid ice under our feet. It was extremely hilarious falling down and seeing everyone else fall down.

To work in a famous museum as a director or curator.

Pepsi, popcorn, pretzels, sand volleyball, soccer, basketball and the Discovery Channel (Man vs. Wild).

It is faith-based and it’s easy to get involved.

Going on a road trip to an away match with the JV tennis team.

To become a local newscaster in the state of Texas, and Lord willing to become the next Peter Jennings.

Listening to good music, going to concerts, playing guitar, singing and hanging out with friends and family.

I grew up in Edmond pretty close to campus and have seen the amazing impact of the school around the community.  I really liked the size and environment that OC has to offer. 

When my club won the intramural all-sports championship my sophomore year!

To work with families as a child welfare specialist, or disabilities counselor.  I don’t truly know what my aspirations are yet, but I would like to travel and make a difference.

Being active.  I like hiking, sports, and running.  I like to spend time with my best friends, read, and Audrey Hepburn.

I had visited the campus many times to visit friends who were already here. I absolutely fell in love with this place! Now that I’m a student here, I can fully appreciate every aspect of OC and its traditions and opportunities.

Late night IHOP trips with friends.

To become a pharmaceutical sales representative.

Singing, sports, and “The Office”.

My older brother attended OC, and so I saw a lot of the campus when visiting him.  I was immediately drawn to the friendly, Christian atmosphere.  The more I talked to people, the more I loved it.  I also chose OC because it is small, but in a great location.

Living in the suites sophomore year, and sledding through a pyramid of milk crates on a snow day.

I want to work at a non profit organization in the public relations department at some point, but I am keeping my options open…

Photography, cinnamon toast, reading, black and white pictures, intramural's, Diet Dr. Pepper, crocodile costumes, candy, spending time with my family, and playing CROCODILE DENTIST.

All my friends were going and I had no preference whatsoever in where I went. Now that I am here, I know that God led me here on purpose to make a difference in the world.

The very first week of school my freshman year.  It held so much meaning to me. There are so many opportunities to meet new friends, and I made the most out of it and that is a huge reason why I am still here!

To become a local newscaster in the state of Texas, and Lord willing to become the next Peter Jennings.

Listening to good music, going to concerts, playing guitar, singing and hanging out with friends and family.

I loved the environment, saw how the students interacted with each other, and knew I wanted to be apart of this community. I also loved how willing my professors were to work with me, and how they took care of me.

Hanging out with my friends in the dorms, SNOWDAYS, and Gamma Rho (social service club).

To become a second grade teacher, and minister to children.

Hanging out with my friends, playing pranks on my roommates, singing, golfing, and sometimes I like to shop.

Both my brothers were here and I knew it was an awesome place to be when I visited.

Having a water fight inside the dorm.

I want to work with the youth group at a church.

Golf, playing guitar, and goofing around with my friends.

I wanted a Christian education and OC felt most welcoming.

Intramural flag football.

To serve in the ministry in any way that I can.

Anything that makes me and others laugh.

I heard the cafeteria food was so awesome.

Riding up and down the dorm hallways on a scooter at 2 am screaming at the top of my lungs with my friends (don't do that though...quiet hours are from 10 pm - 10 am).

To be an American Idol back-up singer and the best possible ER or surgery nurse that I can be.

Of the people. I’ve never been surrounded by more loving and spiritual people.

I want to be a journalist/missionary, and will hopefully one day become a novelist. 

Jesus, The Office, my grandma, hanging out with my friends, and the fortune in fortune cookies.

My main goal when considering which college to attend was to receive a Christian education. OC seem like a place where I could work and live well. Also, OC gave me a generous financial aid package. I really needed that!

During the first week of school, I had a project due in one of my classes. The night that it was assigned, Shrek the Third was playing outside on campus. All my friends were going to the movie so I took my laptop and worked on the assignment.

To build apartment complexes and condos from the ground up.

Dancing. I was a competition dancer for years and loved every minute of it! I also enjoy the classic hanging out with friends, bowling, chillin’ at the coffee shop and traveling.
