Dignitaries, special guests from near and far, RSU faculty and staff converged near the Robson Center for Science and Technology construction site Friday morning for a topping out ceremony.

As guests arrived, all were encouraged to sign their names or write a short message on the final beam to be lifted by crane placed on the new STEM building’s structural frame.

Prior to the topping out, RSU President Dr. Don Raleigh welcomed all guests to the Hill, recognizing the “visionary” work of Dr. Larry Rice for his work in turning the idea of a new STEM building into a reality.

Rogers State University announced that its governing board has authorized the university to move forward with the acquisition of Atlas School, a Tulsa-based technology education organization. The authorization allows the RSU to expand workforce-focused educational opportunities in downtown Tulsa while building upon the foundation and reputation established by Atlas.

“This investment builds on the strengths of both organizations and creates new opportunities for growth, innovation, and student success,” said Dr. Don Raleigh, President of Rogers State University. “Atlas School has done important work to help address a critical need for technology talent in our region, and we see an opportunity to build on that foundation and expand its impact. We’re grateful to George Kaiser Family Foundation for its support in making this opportunity possible. It’s a step forward not only for RSU, but for the broader educational ecosystem that serves our region."
