May is a big month here at Northeastern State University-Broken Arrow. This week graduate candidates are preparing for commencement, while other scholars are planning out their summer trips and internships.
Some students are prepping for summer courses and many youths from the surrounding communities will be making their way to campus for camps and activities happening over the summer.
While the end of the academic year certainly signals the closing of one chapter, the possibilities for the next are endless.
NSU is excited to celebrate graduates during five commencement ceremonies this month. The Oklahoma College of Optometry ceremony will take place on Friday, May 5 at 4 p.m. in the NSU Center for Performing Arts in Tahlequah. The College of Liberal Arts ceremony will take place on Friday, May 5 at 6:30 p.m. in the NSU Event Center in Tahlequah.
Ceremonies will continue on Saturday, May 6 with the Gregg Wadley College of Science & Health Professions commencement at 9:30 a.m. in the NSU Event Center. The College of Business & Technology and College of Education ceremony will take place on May 6 at 1:30 p.m. in the NSU Event Center.
The ceremony for all NSU-Broken Arrow colleges will take place on Monday, May 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the ORU Mabee Center in Tulsa.
I hope you all will join in cheering these graduates on, whether that be in person or virtually. Visit nsuok.edu/commencement

NSU looks forward to hosting young learners over the coming weeks for this exceptional summer programming in hopes of inspiring their future education.
With the end of this school year approaching, it’s important to recognize and celebrate the chapters that are closing. It’s equally important, however, to recognize and celebrate the new chapters that are just beginning and NSU is excited to help you write them however we can.
Congratulations on another successful year!
