September 26, 2007 in fall semester enrollment A more focused effort on recruiting has led to an enrollment increase of more than 2 percent for the fall semester at Northwestern Oklahoma State University. In a preliminary report to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, Northwestern reported total headcount enrollment of 2,052 students for the fall semester, an increase of 42 students compared with last fall’s report of 2,010 students. Headcount enrollment for the fall semester has surpassed 2,000 students for seven consecutive years. An even more encouraging number is the headcount of first-time freshmen, which soared nearly 40 percent to 338 students, up 96 from 2006. This year’s freshman class is the largest at Northwestern since 2000. Read more...
September 25, 2007 A need to explore regional and community revitalization and encourage innovation within the regional economy in northwest Oklahoma, southern Kansas and the Texas panhandle is the motivation behind asking university alumni to share their knowledge at a new event coming to Northwestern Oklahoma State University on Friday, April 25, 2008, the day before the annual Alumni Spring Reunion. The Northwestern Centennial Symposium has been created to bring new ways of thinking and new ideas to the people of northwest Oklahoma as the state celebrates its 100th anniversary and the university recognizes 110 years of service. Titled “Visions and Crossroads: Northwest Oklahoma – Our Next 100 Years,” the symposium will help to connect leadership, experience and education with the people in the region to allow ideas to be shared that will be beneficial to the future of the area.

Northwestern Foundation and Alumni release Bixlers provide funds to renovate In 1968, Bill Bixler, like most college students, was not thinking about how he could give back to the university that would eventually bestow upon him two degrees. Bill was just trying to get good grades and win basketball games. He was a three-year Ranger at the forward position working toward a teaching degree and hoping to one day coach. In 1970 he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, and in 1974 got his Master of Education degree, and it was off to a career of teaching and coaching in Kansas and Texas, respectively.
