The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at Oklahoma State University welcomed home to two alumni for participation in the December 2017 Commencement Ceremonies. James Cavender, class of 1953, and Jerry Ott, class of 1970, both completed their degree programs in the college but were unable to participate in their respective commencement ceremonies due to being called away for military duty. Now, decades later, the two men were able to celebrate with family and friends the degrees which they each hold dear. Visit the links below for stories and videos about them.
