NOC Enid hosts over 300 for Northern ExposureThe Northern Exposure event held on the Enid campus Wednesday was another huge success, accord-

ing to NOC Enid Coordinator of High School and College Relations Terri Sunderland.NOC Enid hosted 325 students, parents, and counselors from 28 different high schools.

The event began in the morning with a welcome from Dr. Vineyard in the Mabee Center, followed by a showing with the Jets cheerleaders.

Students then participated in several fun activities, directed by Resident Life and Activities Director Trent Misak. Next the students went to a show in the planetarium and had lunch in Montgomery Hall.

Afterward there was a browsing session, where students visited tables set up by faculty and staff from 26 different departments, which included admissions, financial aid, counseling and testing offices with infor-mation regarding their programs. Sponsors and students from our clubs and organizations were also there to answer any questions.

The day concluded with a campus tour and the awarding of seven $400 tuition waivers for the Fall 2018 semester to high school senior prospective students who attended the event.

Closing remarks from Dr. Rick Edgington and Dean Jennings ended the event. Every student in at-tendance received an NOC back pack, t-shirt, profile sheet, residence hall flyers, financial aid, and scholarship information.

High schools represented include Aline-Cleo, Burlington, Canton, Chisholm (Enid), CDSA (Youth Build program), Cimarron , Covington-Douglas, Dover, Enid, Fairview, Forgan, Frontier, Garber, Jones, Hen-nessey, Lincoln Academy (Enid), Hooker, Kingfisher, Kremlin-Hillsdale, Lomega, Oklahoma Bible Academy (Enid), Pioneer , Pond Creek-Hunter, Ringwood, Timberlake, Waukomis, Watonga and Woodward.

The winners of the $400 tuition waivers to seven seniors who will be attending the Enid campus in the Fall 2018 semester were: Jesus Resendiz – Enid HS, Christine Kay – Enid HS, Brooke Packard – Enid HS, Vic-toria Vandiver –, Covington/Douglas, Dakima Wedel – Garber, Rayann Williams – Oklahoma Bible Academy and Holden Wilson – Enid HS.

ACT WORKSHOP

Chloe’s CornerChloe Hughes, R&S Reporter

Well, it’s that time of year again. Happy un-imaginative, consumerist-oriented, and entirely arbitrary, manipulative, and shallow interpretation of romance day!

Before you assume that I am just bitter from a bad Valentine’s Day in the past, hear me out. Although I have never had a fantastic Valentine’s Day, I have never had one that was truly bad either. I do not hate romance either. If you have read many of these articles, you will know that F. Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite author; if you know anything about him, you need to have a little bit of an affinity for a good romance story to appreciate his writing. So, if I am not bitter, and I like romance, you’re probably wondering why Valen-tine’s Day isn’t one of my favorite holidays. It is simple, actually. I respect love too much to let it be trivialized to a box of chocolates and a teddy bear once a year. I don’t think those things are bad, but I think that some people get so caught up in the holiday itself that they forget what love is really about. All that being said, I really hope you do have a happy Valentine’s Day.

Because, in my opinion, no Valentine’s Day would be complete without him, I want to leave you with a little something F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote for his wife: “You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beau-tiful person I have ever known – and even that is an understatement.”

NISOD Recipients AnnouncedFive NOC instructors were named winners of the 2018 NISOD Excellence in Teaching Awards. The winners

were Brian Baird, Tammy Davis, Christi Hook, Marsh Howard and Charmaine Munro.In the past, division chairs and faculty liaisons chose the winners. This year, through the Faculty Affairs

Committee, the decision was made to create an award voted on by students. Students were contacted by email and asked to reply to a survey.There were 176 student responses with the following questions: Which teacher at NOC has helped you learn better than any other? What did that teacher do that really made a difference? The winners will be recognized at a NISOD Conference in Austin, Texas, in May.The following are comments from the student survey responses:

Brian Baird: “Mr. Baird goes above and beyond to help students navigate through nursing school. He is always available to help students find resources to help them succeed. He is passionate about nursing and developing stu-dents to become the best nurse possible. At the beginning of the program, he introduced us to the ‘kernel,’ which is a character he plays to make skits. As the program went on, he continued to make learning fun by making different characters/skits, using word puzzles, activities to engage our learning from different aspects. Even though Mr. Baird is not taking a clinical group this semester, he is still finding ways to help students succeed in the clinical setting . . . . He brings such an open and caring attitude towards learning and that, in return, allows students to feel the same. Mr. Baird is definitely the most deserving instructor and without a doubt the biggest asset NOC has on their team.”“Although he has been more demanding than any other instructor, I truly believe that it was to push me to be a better nurse! I always say that he is ‘extra,’ that he requires more, but in reality, that extra attention to small detail makes me want to do it! He finds a million different ways to teach us, and I love that about him! He is an outstanding teacher and Northern Oklahoma College should feel blessed that he is part of their staff, because as a student, I am blessed to have him!”“He truly cares about his students learning the material and challenges them to think outside of the box.” “Mr. Baird really cares about his students! He explains things in a way where we can think through to the answer or situation at hand. Even when he is the busiest guy, he will still take the time to sit and help us learn.”

Tammy Davis: “She cared so much about the education and time each student spent in class and was always there to help solve problems outside of her classroom time. Tammy goes above [and] beyond what she is called to do to be the best she can be for her students and has impacted my life and so many others over the years she has taught. I am grateful to have been in her class and to know that even a few years down I can still rely on her to have someone to talk to and get help if needed.”“She makes me feel safe to ask questions without fear of looking silly. The atmosphere in her class cultivates learning by allowing me to be myself. Her assignments help me relate what is learned in class to everyday life. Most impor-tantly, she makes learning fun!”“This teacher has shown me my love for writing. She helped me get an essay submitted to a magazine and although it did not make the final cut, it showed me that I could go somewhere with writing. She makes sure that her students understand everything they need to and answers any questions we have. I also think that her courses are just so much fun!”

Christi Hook: “I have never really been very good at math but in College Algebra Mrs. Hook helped me tremen-dously by explaining math in a different way and if I didn’t understand, she kept trying to help me learn it.” “She would accept picture text messages in order to help the students with homework. She was very knowledge-able in regard to the fall webassign issues and how to solve the problem with students’ accounts not linking to webassign. She would respond to a question at any time in a reliable matter of time. In the classroom, she kept it lighthearted and made sure we didn’t fall behind in the schedule. The most helpful was the correlation of her notes that she wrote herself she would upload to blackboard for us to use. This helped because it wasn’t just notes to do specific problems but rather a defining structure on how to learn college algebra from a crawl, walk run program.” “I have only had her for calculus I, however, as this was a very challenging subject, I am very proud of how much I learned in her class. She was very giving in the time in which she would spend one-on-one with any student that came into her office, emailed her, or texted her about a difficult subject. She explains the subjects at hand well and answers questions in a way that can bring understanding for not only the problem at hand, but a variety of prob-lems in close format or of the same subject.”

Marsh Howard: “Lecture technique is the best I’ve ever had. Makes his class interesting and fun. He doesn’t just sit and read the slides, he engages with his students and gives powerful examples. Dr. Howard seems like he actual-ly cares about his students and their success.”“He was a really cool teacher who found ways of connecting his teachings of Psychology to the real world and always managed to make things fun and interactive. Honestly was like my favorite class I’ve taken.”“He makes me love psychology and learn more about people and the most important is I learned about myself in terms of psychology.”

Charmaine Munro: “She is available with an open door policy if she is in her office she is ready to help. Same for during class if something is keeping you from understanding what the lecture is covering all you have to do is just ask and she is more than ready to help.”“She is very involved with the students, she helps them if they have a question and if they don’t understand the question then she will try and explain it to where they understand it better.”“Whenever I have a problem or need help with my work, she sits down and takes the time to help me. She is a remarkable teacher.”“She makes an excellent climate and goes above and always willing to help.”
