Yesterday, the sophomore class attended a tour of Southwestern Oklahoma State University. They toured the nursing and applied engineering programs. Both programs have had great outcomes for their students with nearly 100% job placement. In the nursing program, starting pay begins at $35 an hour. In the applied engineering program, students starting pay ranges from $56,000-$94,000 a year.
🔭Fun Fact: Okeene graduate, Tiffany Lorenz, helped lead the tour of the Applied Engineering program. She was featured in this video as a senior for being a Stafford Scholar and future aerospace engineer. Watch her (and catch glimpses of several other Okeene grads) here: https://youtu.be/URsDdWY2H_c?feature=shared
🐾We have several Bulldog alumni employed right here at Okeene, including Superintendent Mike Jinkens, Leigh Bisel, Elizabeth Burghardt, Paula Laubach, Martin Hursh, Kris Osmus, Brada Unruh, Patrick Penner, Chavonne Penner, Kara Laubach, and Tara Fisher.
