UCO Neighborhood Plan (UCO’s “Campus Corner”)

[Midtowner]

I remember that special around 2002 or 2003 on Edmond's Cox cable, KSCU 22. Kevin T. and Kasey J. were the anchors/host. After the training exercise, the building set vacant half destroyed for a few months over the summer before UCO started the demolition process, right around the time the Wellness Center opened on the north end of campus.

Not only is the university looking to move to D1/FCS, it’s been recently holding meetings about increasing research on campus. I know of the latter only because I had to walk through a maze of catering and people in suits when I went to my class in the STEM building one morning. When I asked my professor what was going on, he mentioned that the university was trying to sell donors, alumni, etc. on the idea of becoming an R2 university, which I don’t see happening anytime soon. But still, the school appears to be trying to change its image as just a small commuter school or glorified community college. I mean, it fits the school’s motto: “Where Movement Is.”

This appears to be what I was seeing that day. So, maybe not R2 but definitely recognized as a university that does research. Hopefully, this new recognition can help with landing additional funds for research, assuming that it’s not cut at the federal level. Roll ‘Chos!
