What is my OU?
OU accelerates your career opportunities.
Like the CCEW, which is
the Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth.
You work in student teams,
with the research faculty at the university,
and you help commercialize their inventions
and bring new industries into Oklahoma.
CCEW?
Take a group of students,
give us a really challenging project,
high expectations and our own workspace
and we take it from there.
Right now we’re involving CCEW students
in our second technological development,
which is the conversion of switchgrass
to renewable fuels in particular
conventional gasolines and conventional diesels.
What is OU?
The University of Oklahoma has more than
600 national merit scholars.
We are number 1 in the nation in
national merit scholars enrolled per capita among public universities.
I’m an OU student,
and I’m an entrepreneur.
Free tutoring for challenging classes,
extensive career services when looking for an internship or job,
one-to-one advising when you’re deciding on a major
and OU’s one of the top 10 wired campuses in the nation.
The environment at OU allows you
to get involved as much you want.
If there’s something you’re interested in, OU probably already has it.
But if not, there’s a great opportunity to work on something new,
with the OU community supporting your endeavor.
Everything is structured around me, the student.
With so many tools available, it allows me to become my best.
Freshman English Composition classes
and all honors classes are limited to 19 students.
You get all the benefits of a major research university,
but the personal attention you deserve.
Well there’s an academic community in the honors college,
centered around small classes producing high level thinking,
and they're taught by OU’s top professors.
My professors are more than just teachers.
They’re mentors, friends even.
These are people who are dedicated
to ensuring that I get the best possible education.
Working with CCEW,
we not only push our technology forward,
but also give us a great educational opportunity
for the students who get involved in the project.
For example, one of the students who participated
in the first program in which I was involved,
is now an employee in the company that was created.
I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate
with professors and industry leaders.
Together we have worked on
cutting edge technology and research
that has the world’s attention.
OU gives you an experience unlike anything else.
You can create a story that is unique,
and bigger than what most college students get to do.
With the experiences that I’ve had,
and the relationships that I’ve made,
OU has given me so many options.
I know that I’m prepared to excel, no matter what I decide to do.
And that’s my OU.
My OU is opportunity.
It’s preparation for success beyond college.
It’s being part of a family.
It’s the University of Oklahoma.
