156 Southeastern Oklahoma State University Specialized Programs and Projects One of the means by which Southeastern Oklahoma State University serves its student body and the region is by offering nontraditional programs that are short-term and long-range in nature. The programs are designed to meet those specific emergent needs in society which cannot be effectively met by traditional programs of education and service. These specialized programs have been developed to enable the University to provide more comprehensive services to its constituency. The University operates academic enrichment programs, programs in continuing education, college preparatory programs, programs in community development, and projects which focus on the enrichment and economic development of Southeastern Oklahoma. Each of these is briefly described in succeeding paragraphs. ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS Lectureship Programs E.T. Dunlap Lectureship Program. Southeastern Oklahoma State University, in cooperation with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, hosts annually a lectureship program focusing on public policy and higher education. The program honors a distinguished scholar or outstanding public figure, who presents a lecture on public policy in higher education. The program is named for Dr. E. T. Dunlap who served as chancellor of Oklahoma higher education from 1961-82 and who received his baccalaureate degree from Southeastern in 1940. The program is financed through private donations and is supervised by a committee comprised of the Chancellor of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the State Regents’ chairman, and Dr. Dunlap. Dr. Linnie Ruth Hall Lectureship for Entrepreneurial and Business Issues. This was Southeastern’s first endowed lectureship, established in 1987 to honor Dr. Linnie Ruth Hall, an instructor in the School of Business for 27 years. Dr. Hall was deeply loved by the Southeastern family and greatly admired by the business and academic communities of the southwest. The primary intent was to enable Southeastern students and others to learn first-hand from role model individuals who have demonstrated values, ethics, and integrity, through contributions to business disciplines, business acumen and success. Massey Family Lectureship in Business and Public Policy. Created in 1994 with a gift from John Massey, a 1960 graduate of Southeastern and a Distinguished Alumnus, this lectureship was developed to point out the important alliance which must be forged between business and education. Mr. Massey served four years in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and six years in the State Senate before retiring to a full-time business career. He serves as a member and past chair of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Julian J. Rothbaum Distinguished Lecture in Public Affairs. Established in 1999 by Julian J. Rothbaum of Tulsa, Oklahoma, this lectureship will bring to the Southeastern campus recognized authorities to address major issues of public affairs at the national, state, and local level. Lectures may include outstanding figures in government, academia, the media, nonprofit organizations, or the private sector. Don W. Sands Lectureship in Business. This lectureship was established by Mr. Don W. Sand, a native of Durant now residing in Duluth, Georgia. He is the President and CEO emeritus of Gold Kist, Inc. Mr. Sands is a 1949 Southeastern graduate and was honored in 1987 as a Distinguished Alumnus. Sullivan Family Lectureship in Business. This lectureship was established in 1999 by Mr. Reggie Sullivan to honor his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wise Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan is a graduate of Southeastern and served as the chair of the 1999 S.A.I.L. Campaign in support of the Southeastern Alumni Association. Honors Program The Southeastern Honors Program, built on the foundation of the Parsons Scholars Program, has a long and honorable tradition that goes back to 1978, when David L. Parsons, a 1928 Southeastern alumnus, endowed the Parsons Scholars scholarship. Today, the Southeastern Honors Program is committed to the ongoing growth and development of a culturally diverse and academically talented group of honors students. With a focus on educational excellence as well as cultural and technological literacy, the program challenges high caliber students with special talents and outstanding academic abilities to develop local and global awareness and to achieve their full potential. Students selected for the program will receive an academic scholarship to attend Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Honors students take specially designed honors courses and offer their services to the academic and local communities. Honors students enroll in honors sections of liberal arts courses as a part of their general education curriculum, and they may receive honors credit by contract in any of the major fields available at Southeastern. Honors students serve the Honors Program by participating in the Honors Advisory Council and other honors events; they serve the university and the community through volunteer activities throughout the school year.
