A Chance to Make a Difference

FAR will host a free screening of the Invisible Children documentary in hopes of showing students that they can make a difference in world issues. The event will take place at 5:30 and 7 on Wednesday night, September 16 in the Scholars Room at the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

FAR, Facilitating African Rehabilitation, is a student led organization that focuses on supporting groups that are centered on the issues in Africa.

President of FAR and pre nursing sophomore, Matt Mead said, “Invisible Children means making the invisible, visible, ending the longest running war in Africa, bringing hope to a nation through education and bringing peace to the upcoming generations.”

This semester FAR will be collecting books, and hosting other similar events to help support their groups.

Opportunity Arises for Students with new Professor

Opportunity Arises for Students with new Professor

Students have a new connection to the media world through Kathy Johnson, a first year Gaylord professor at OU.

Johnson brings twelve years of experience from local television stations where she served as producer or senior producer in Oklahoma, Florida and Washington D.C. She now owns a television network for children called KTV.

“I bring the real life experience, how the industry works and how it is changing,” said Johnson. “ I think OU has a great learning environment and I really hope that I can get students involved with one of my next projects.”

Johnson will continue to teach and run her television network in the future.
