Tuesday, September 29, 2015

The Oklahoma State University Alumni Association has announced the OSU Homecoming 2015 Royalty Court. The Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned during halftime of the Oct. 24 Kansas football game. The King and Queen will represent OSU and the Alumni Association at events throughout their year-long reign.

Selection is based on scholastic excellence, campus activities and a genuine desire to represent OSU and the Alumni Association. Students with more than 60 credit hours and a cumulative grade point average higher than 3.0 were encouraged to submit applications.
