Crayton Billboard
 |
Northwestern Oklahoma State University Foundation
and Alumni Association have developed a billboard to publicize
its outstanding alums. The billboard went up recently on the
west side of Interstate-35 about two miles south of the Kansas-Oklahoma
border and can be read traveling southbound.
Janet Valencia, Northwestern Printing Services Coordinator, designed
the billboard. |
The billboard will
stay up for one year and after six months the alum being honored
will change. Patrick Crayton, a 2004 graduate and current Dallas
Cowboys’ wide receiver, is the featured alum on the billboard.
Crayton is pictured in his Cowboys uniform with a quote that
reads, “Northwestern was everything to me.” Dr.
Jim Claflin, an allergist in Oklahoma City and one of Northwestern’s
outstanding alumni, is the first sponsor of the billboard.
|
| The Foundation and Alumni Office is currently looking for another
sponsor for a billboard to go up somewhere between the Enid and
Edmond exits on I-35.
“We want to get the word out that a degree from Northwestern
equals success,” Skeeter Bird, Northwestern Foundation
Executive Director, said.
|
 |
| “We have so many alums that are doing incredible things
and we felt this was a great way to not only promote the university
but also acknowledge the accomplishments of out past, present,
and future Rangers,” Bird said.

Director, at (580) 327-8593 or aebird@nwosu.edu.
