NORTHWESTERN'S RANGER PREVIEW SET FOR NOV. 11

            Northwestern Oklahoma State University's annual Ranger Preview event for high school seniors will take place Saturday, Nov. 11, at 9 a.m. in the Student Center.

            "We hold Ranger Preview to encourage students to visit our campus and to make sure that we have the opportunity to showcase Northwestern Oklahoma State University and show them the excellent education and college experience we have to offer,” said Brad Franz, dean of student affairs and enrollment management. “We have tremendous involvement in this event from faculty, students and staff in welcoming our potential freshmen to campus. Thanks to the City of Alva, we can offer a $400 scholarship to those in attendance."

            Any high school senior is eligible to attend Ranger Preview, and when admitted to Northwestern as a full-time student at the Alva campus, that student will receive the $400 scholarship.

            Pre-registration is on-going and is encouraged by the Office of Recruitment. For the senior’s convenience, they can register online by clicking on the Ranger Preview icon on Northwestern’s home page at www.nwosu.edu. If a student has been unable to pre-register, walk-ins are welcome, and students still are encouraged to attend.

            The schedule of events for the day includes registration beginning at 9 a.m., with a welcome at 10 a.m. Following the welcome, students will tour the campus, meet with faculty members from each academic area and also have the opportunity to meet with many of the student organizations on campus. The day will end with a Rowdy Rangers cookout for everyone in attendance.

            Those attending also will receive passes to see the Northwestern Ranger basketball teams play that evening in a doubleheader starting at 6 pm. in Percefull Fieldhouse.

            To register by phone or to find out more information about Ranger Preview, call the Office of Recruitment at (580) 327-8546.
