letter FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Graduates, I join with your family and friends in applauding you, our Spring 2012 graduates. Today is a marker in your life. I encourage you to stop and savor your achievement and enjoy the celebration and joy that surround you, for your accomplishment says more than you may know. Your Central diploma is an outward sign of your commitment and hard work. It says to the world, “I can make the appropriate sacrifices. I can learn. I can meet the challenge. I can succeed.” Your graduation is a clear manifestation of your own empowerment. You did it, and we are truly proud of you. Be encouraged by what you have accomplished. Now imagine what you are capable of doing. We believe your Central education has given you more than certain skill

sets. We believe that you leave here with sharpened abilities to think and act creatively, critically and ethically. You can become the engaged citizens and leaders in whatever community you choose, whatever field you pursue. More importantly, we hope your Central experience has instilled in you a passion for learning, a habit that will be part of you throughout your life. We hope that you leave knowing how to perceive problems and find solutions, and to meet a changing world with a culture of learning that will enrich your life. With your graduation, you have changed your future and that of others who will be influenced by you. This is our hope for you. Know, too, that you are always welcome here, either to further your learning or as a loyal alumnus. You are a member of the UCO community regardless of where your life takes you.

3

Finally, don't pass up this opportunity to thank those in your life whose encouragement and love helped you in countless ways to reach this plateau. Tell them today how much they mean to you. You can make a difference; you can be the change you wish to see in the world around you. We believe in you.

Don Betz, Ph.D. President

THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA The University of Central Oklahoma was first known as the Territorial Normal School, created by the Oklahoma Territorial legislature in December 1890 to educate teachers for the one-room school houses being built across the growing territory.

Central’s first students met in Edmond’s First Methodist Church. In 1892, construction began on the school’s first building, Old North Tower, still standing today. Over the next century, more buildings would be added, moved, torn down or rebuilt. Grass would give

For more than 120 years, developing leaders for Oklahoma and the nation has been Central’s bedrock mission. From a territorial school of 23 students to more than 17,000 today, UCO has gone through many stages of development with more than 110,000 graduates. Now Oklahoma’s third largest state university, UCO has six colleges, including the Jackson College of Graduate Studies.

way to parking lots for the huge commuter population of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Now, grass grows over what used to be parking lots as the university has evolved into a beautifully landscaped campus, meeting the needs of those seeking a traditional campus atmosphere, while still serving the needs of the non-traditional student. Today, Central has moved into the role of being Oklahoma’s major metropol5

itan university with nationally recognized programs. During the 2011-12 academic year, Central was recognized in U.S. News & World Report’s 2012 Best Colleges — No. 81 in the Tier One “Regional Universities: West” category. Forbes named Central to the magazine’s list of the nation’s 650 best undergraduate institutions. In addition, The Chronicle of Higher Education listed Central as one of the top producers of U.S. Fulbright Scholars. Professors Wei Chen, Ph.D., a 2008 U.S. Professor of the Year, and David Hartmann, Ph.D., both have spent the last year working abroad on Fulbright scholarships. Meanwhile, Assistant Professor of Photography Mark Zimmerman recently was named a 2012 DaVinci Institute Fellow, while English Professor Gladys Lewis, Ph.D., received the 2012 Oklahoma Medal for Excellence in Teaching. All bring recognition to Central’s quality faculty. Central’s mission remains one of helping students become productive, creative, ethical and engaged citizens and leaders. In a world of increasing change, Central works to immerse students in a culture of learning to prepare them for the challenges they will face in the years to come, transforming their lives both today and tomorrow.

star-spangled banner O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming. Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
