Gaylord Extra: November 2023

Life from Spain

November 30, 2023

Empathy must be earned, so seek the unknown. We live in a bubble. All of us. Our safety net. Our personalized networks of people who lift us up and reinforce our actions, beliefs and opinions, regardless of their true impact on others. We shun and ostracize those who are different from us.

Gaylord Women in Sports to Sports Girls Club

November 30, 2023

Over the past couple of years, Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication has had the honor of hosting a space for women looking to step foot into the sports media industry.

OU/TX from the Inside

November 30, 2023

It is an understatement to describe this year’s OU/Texas game as a memorable one. Between the nail-biting score in the last minutes of the game, and the exhilaration of the crowd, it is fair to say that if you were able to attend this year’s Red River Rivalry, you witnessed OU history.

Double Major, Double Life: Best of Both Worlds

November 30, 2023

Everyone in Gaylord College is familiar with the required minor to accompany each degree and expand the field of learning, but what do our students know about pursuing a dual major? Gaylord students with majors in Gaylord and another college are fully immersed in their learning experience by taking their interests to the next level. Double majors within the college find ways to enhance their experiences outside of the college.
