Hello again, friends! We are now in the Spring 2012 semester of the school year, which can only mean one thing: new classes!

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend “Leader Summit”- a leadership workshop that is open for all OU students to attend. I didn’t really know what was in store when I first registered for this event, but now I’m glad I did!
Leader Summit is a 7-hour workshop, led by OU’s amazing LEAD Team, that provides leadership training, keynote speakers, and of course, food! I was amazed at how many students actually came to this event on a Saturday morning. Some of the activities at this workshop include: Break-out sessions with speakers, “Habitudes”- talking about different leadership topics, community service project – making place mats for a retired veterans home, and lunch!

8 Things I Missed About OU Over Winter Break
8. The South Oval
When you come for your tour, the South Oval probably seems like nothing more than a huge space that takes forever to walk across, but in reality it’s the center of activity at OU. This is because, especially as a freshman, all of your courses will most likely be concentrated in this area of campus. Last semester, 3 out of my 4 classes were somewhere on the Oval. Even if you’re not a freshman, the Oval serves as a rendezvous point for every student at OU, no matter what major or year they might be. CAC and other campus organizations advertise their events here, free stuff is often distributed here, and everyone has to pass through at some point. What I’ve missed most is the liveliness of the Oval and how I always see my friends pass by when I’m walking to class. I miss the way people cross Lindsey before the monotone crosswalk voice says, “Walk sign is on” because they’re running late to class. And I miss the free stuff, but I’ll get my fill soon thanks to CAC’s Winter Welcome Week!

Applied to OU? Check! Admitted to OU and completed the Enrollment Commitment? Check! Set up your Ozone account and email? Check! Now what?!?! Well, if you need assistance with paying for college (and who doesn’t need additional funding after the holidays), it’s definitely time to learn the facts! Allow me to elaborate…

Before I can hit on my “top five” list, I need to explain the meal plan system so that you will understand what I’m talking about. So if you already know the difference between meals, points and meal exchanges, skip ahead. 🙂
First you have to understand the difference between meals and points. You will get so many meals each week, and they will expire every week on Sunday at midnight so you have to use them within that week or you will lose them. A meal can be used at Couch Restaurants (a.k.a the Caf). When used at the Caf, a meal has an all-you-can-eat value of $11. When you use one meal to get into the Caf, you get all-you-can-eat access to ALL of the FOURTEEN dining options inside this one building. I am a super picky eater, and trust me when I say there is something for everyone here. Don’t believe me? Check out the virtual tour.

Sooner Connection is one of the ways that OU Recruitment Services helps to keep prospective students and future Sooners up-to-date about deadlines, OU campus events, recruitment events and when your OU Representative visits your region for college fairs or school visits. It is a place where you will find information regarding your academic interests, scholarships, financial aid and important dates. You will also meet your OU representative. It is also a great resource for topics like scholarship essay writing tips, how to get involved on the OU campus and informs prospective students of campus-specific information based on an interest profile that is filled out when the Sooner Connection account is created.
