OSU Institute of Technology
During World War II, the United States Army operated Glennan Hospital on the property, which treated wounded U.S. soldiers as well as German prisoners of war. As the war came to an end, the need for quality higher education was in serious demand for returning soldiers. Oklahoma A&M College President H.G. Bennett purchased the property from the Army Surplus to help meet that need. It was Bennett’s vision to provide WWII veterans with vocational and technical training, and thus Oklahoma A&M College School of Technical Training was born in 1946. Its roots of serving and prioritizing veterans remains as essential to the institution’s foundation today as OSUIT is consistently named a military-friendly™ school.
OSUIT History of DR.
Covelle had a deep ingrained philosophy of learning-by-doing, and he said he saw a great need to increase the benefits of society by preparing young people for the worka-day world as skilled technicians. In 1958, the campus unofficially became known as Oklahoma State TECH. Covelle served as director until 1963. Upon his retirement, he said, “I built the foundation. It’s up to you to continue to build this great school.” His next three successors did just that. Director Wayne Miller oversaw the construction of nine new educational facilities and renovation of several more. And he added millions of dollars’ worth of equipment for student use. Student enrollment tripled during Miller’s 20-year tenure.
Today, and since 2011, Dr. Bill R. Path leads OSUIT as its fourth president with an ambitious strategic plan to provide advanced technical education to enhance OSUIT’s position in meeting global workforce demands.
The longest-serving president, Robert Klabenes, replaced outdated wooden barracks with state-of-the-art classrooms and residence halls totaling more than $150 million in new construction and remodeling projects. He also facilitated the establishment of Green Country Technology Center and the College of the Muscogee Nation in Okmulgee. In 2007, the campus officially changed its name to Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology, or OSUIT.
Dr. Path’s initiatives include a comprehensive long-range forecast focused on the development of OSUIT’s instructional spaces to meet increasing industry demand. He also has been instrumental in a revitalization project with the city of Okmulgee and led the effort to purchase and restore downtown buildings for the purpose of future student housing.
Bennett named L. Keith Covelle as the school’s first president – then called a director. And in 1949, the Oklahoma A&M College School of Technical Training held its first graduation with a small number of students.
While expansions and improvements cost a little more than $1 now, the education given and the experiences gained during the last 75 years are priceless. KAYSE M.
