State of Orange: A Day of Cowboy Service offered an opportunity for Cowboys to serve at more than 350 locations nationwide, including in Stillwater and nearly every county in Oklahoma.

“Today is all about living the Cowboy Code, doing what’s right, giving it our all,” said President Kayse Shrum at the event’s kickoff event in Stillwater. “Today, we’re dreaming big about making a difference.”

Events were facilitated by the OSU Alumni Association, OSU Extension offices, OSU System institutions and Into the Streets, a longtime student program that was expanded this year to promote community service and connections among students, faculty, staff and alumni.

“State of Orange is an opportunity for the Cowboy family to accomplish acts of service to better the communities we live in,” said Dr. Ann Caine, OSU Alumni Association president. “Not only are we getting fellow Cowboys connected, but also we’re making a difference together.”
