The Gaylord College is the first collegiate journalism program in the United States to be named an Apple Distinguished Program for its comprehensive integration of Apple-inspired technology throughout its building and curriculum. The Apple Distinguished Program designation is reserved for academic units that are recognized centers of educational excellence and leadership.

 

Gaylord College students have become master storytellers with Apple hardware, software and servers, which provide students with a virtual environment to work collaboratively - on and off campus.

BEM students are in the process of producing and directing a game show to air on OUTV (Cox 124 metrowide, Campus Channel 76, AT&T uVerse 99 metrowide) called Quiztopia.

This game show culminates in a championship round (to be shot during April), where previous episode winners are teamed to answer questions about pop culture, physics, anatomy, math, sports, history, and a host of other topics.

Crews have been out on historic Campus Corner and on the Norman main campus, capturing videos of OU students responding to Quiztopia questions as well. These videos are integrated into each episode during the multimedia round.
Cory Lingner, OU Drama Junior, provided voice overs for each episode.

Underwriting & prizes for each episode is provided by Wingstop and Raising Canes.

 

The Gaylord College Convocation Speaker will be Kathy Taylor, former Tulsa mayor and Oklahoma Commerce Secretary. She is a 1978 general broadcasting major and received her juris doctorate in 1981. She is now with the McAffee and Taft law firm in Tulsa.

If you have family members or other guests that will need disability assistance for the ceremony, please let the student services office know prior to the event.

A reception will be held immediately following Convocation in Gaylord Hall.
