Rogers State University Campus Activities Team Executive Board members helped RSU students get the new school year off to a healthy start this morning with Sunrise on the Hill, at which, CAT volunteers helped pass out free energy drinks and breakfast items to students on their first day of classes.

Held from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the DCTC Rotunda, Sunriase on the Hill kicks off several Welcome Week activities designed to help ease students into the new school year.

According to RSU Veteran Affairs coordinator, the mural was commissioned to honor both the military history of the university, as well as past, current, and future veteran students.

“Within the mural designed are various symbolic images,” Hudson said. “Imagery for land, sea, air, and space can be found in the landscape.”

Additional details within the mural are a lone cadet in his dress uniform next to a modern serviceman. An Oklahoma scissortail can also be seen flying back in the direction of land, as birds are a symbol of land and home for sailors, Hudson added.
