The week leapt to a start with my second history of graphic design exam of the semester and mini project deadlines in both of my design classes. As the week continued the excitement definitely grew – with Stillwater hosting one of the most exhilarating football games I’ve witnessed thus far! Adding a dog show and an inspirational service event to the agenda, it seems each passing week at Oklahoma State is more thrilling than the last!

Arts and Science Student Council was Tuesday evening. This is really serving as a new experience for me and I love it! Arts and Science week is coming up, and I think it’ll be fun getting involved in that committee. I hope we can help to utilize that week to showcase what our college is all about!

Thursday, I went to the Murphy House to complete my biweekly office hour for OSU Student Foundation. This is a new requirement this year, and I feel it has worked out wonderfully so far. Abby Fox does a great job of organizing everything so students have a specific task to accomplish when they arrive, whether that be committee work, thank you notes, etc.

“How ’bout them Cowboys!” Well it was a nerve-racking game to say the least, but that’s what made it such a meaningful win in Boone Pickens Stadium! It never ceases to fill me with pride when nationally televised games such as this week’s depict so accurately the sea of orange that resembles the spirit that resides at this university!

Friday, SUAB hosted a dog show for all those who wanted to bring their furry companions for a night of entertainment, food, and fun! I worked a shift at the National Society of Collegiate Scholars booth, where we had a game of pin the tail on the dog set up. Between the fashion show, the talent show, and the games, I don’t know who had more fun, the owners or their pets! Here’s a pic from the event.

Saturday, CKI participated in the Cystic Fibrosis walk at Couch Park! It was so inspiring to see that a Builder’s Club member whom we’ve known is not only affected by CF, but at her age has traveled all over the U.S. speaking about the disease, spreading awareness and support! The foundation that’s out of Oklahoma City had set up a pipeline chart of the progress and research development since 2001, and it was truly remarkable. It was a very humbling experience. I previously didn’t know much about Cystic Fibrosis, but all the members of our chapter agree that this will become an annual event and we hope to start fundraising even earlier next year! With the help of awareness and funds, CF will soon stand for “Cure Found!” Here are a couple pictures from the event.
