Thanksgiving Break Campus Closure & Package Delivery Hold (Nov 24 - Nov 28)

Due to RSU's closure for the Thanksgiving holiday Nov. 24-28, we are asking everyone to plan ahead and avoid shipping any items to campus during this closure period (Nov. 24 - Nov. 28).

While campus mail services will be placing a hold with major carriers for this duration, we cannot guarantee that all package delivery attempts will be stopped. When Pershing Hall is closed, we do not have a secure, designated location to safely store incoming deliveries. Any packages dropped off during this time may be left exposed or unsecured.

We strongly encourage you to adjust your delivery dates or use an alternative address for any shipments scheduled during the break.

We will sort, check in, and begin delivering all packages and mail immediately upon the carriers' first drop-off when the campus reopens Monday, December 1.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us manage deliveries safely during the holiday. We wish you a safe and restful Thanksgiving break!

Sincerely,

Errin Law

Supervisor

RSU, Will Rogers Memorial Partner to Offer Will Rogers Class in Spring 2026

Over the course of his career, Will Rogers lassoed many things: horses, bulls, a hat and one time, even a mouse.

But this spring, Oklahoma’s favorite son hopes to lasso something new: Rogers State University students.

Beginning in the spring 2026 semester, RSU will be offering a class about American culture as seen through the eyes of America’s cowboy philosopher, Will Rogers.

"Will Rogers' America" (Hist/Hum 4213) is a 3-hour senior-level course, described as “An interdisciplinary study and critical examination of the diverse and complex American culture between 1915 and 1935 as seen through the cultural artifacts of Will Rogers.”
