Northeastern State University honors our Classmate, Dan Glasgow

 

NSU to add 10 Centurions to list of Centurions

 

As part of Founders Day 2013 at Northeastern State University, 10 names will be added to the roll of NSU Centurions. Founders Day commemorates the day the Oklahoma legislature purchased the Cherokee National Female Seminary and created the Northeastern State Normal School on March 6, 1909.

 

An annual honor established during the 2009 Centennial Founders Day Celebration, Centurions are people associated with NSU—alumni, faculty, staff and students, whether past or present—who impacted the life of the nominator, the Northeastern community or the public at large.
