RSU Criminal Justice Society to Host ‘Coffee with a Cop’ Oct. 15

Rogers State University’s Criminal Justice Society will welcome representatives from local law enforcement agencies to the Hill this month at the Coffee with a Cop event.

Slated for Wednesday, Oct. 15, Coffee with a Cop is a recurring event that allows RSU students, faculty and staff to informally engage with officers from more than a dozen law enforcement agencies, such as the Claremore Police Department, Rogers County Sheriff’s Office, and others in an informal get-together between peace officers and members of the campus community.

This free event provides an opportunity to foster positive relationships and open communication in a casual, friendly setting, offering a chance to ask questions and voice concerns without any specific agenda. Light breakfast refreshments will be provided.

This event will be held 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. in Room 135 of Herrington Hall on RSU’s Claremore campus.

RSU’s Criminal Justice Society is a student organization that promotes academic excellence to make those who work within the criminal justice system more effective. The group is open to RSU students interested in criminal justice and meets at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays in Room 129 of Herrington Hall.

RSU SGA Leaders Speak to Students at Choices Alternative Learning Program

Rogers State University Student Government Association (SGA) President Brysen Morgan and other RSU student leaders recently spoke to Claremore students about the importance of a college education.

Morgan, along with SGA Vice President Isaiah Dowdican, SGA Press Secretary Xeefa Lor, and SGA Speaker of the House Trinity Concepcion, addressed 35 students at the CHOICES Alternative Learning Program, emphasizing the value of pursuing a post-secondary education.

The RSU students used interactive activities to engage the class and to highlight how higher education can create pathways to future success.

The CHOICES Alternative Learning Program is part of Claremore Public Schools and is now referred to as the Claremore Learning Center (CLC). It is designed to provide a more tailored and supportive educational experience for students who need a non-traditional path to graduation.

RSU Graphic Design Students Take Field Trip to Clampitt Paper

Nearly a dozen Rogers State University graphic design students recently took a field trip to Tulsa-based wholesale paper merchant, Clampitt Paper.

In addition to providing industry insights, Hammer also provided each graphic design student with a large bag of paper product samples for future reference.

RSU offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in visual arts, with options in graphic design, multimedia, photographic arts, and studio art. To learn more about these degree programs, visit www.rsu.edu/degree-programs/visual-arts.
