COVID-19 Vaccine Arrival As the new coronavirus vaccine becomes more and more readily available, it is President Hargis’ hope that the opportunity will arise for every OSU student to receive it. “While we do not know exactly when our community will be fully vaccinated, the prospect that the end is in sight is comforting.” Hargis said. As vaccines are distributed, it is important for the cowboy community to continue following CDC protocols throughout the spring semester. by Maddison Farris

On October 23, 2020, OSU President Burns Hargis announced to the Board of Regents and cowboy community that he plans to retire, effective July 1st, 2021. The search for a new president has already begun and students are eager to learn of the board’s decision which is expected to be made public sometime during the spring semester. Hargis mentioned that it would be a bonus to have the new President be an OSU alumni. “It gives you instant credibility with the faculty, students, donors and alumni. I think it really helped me a lot to know that I drank the same Kool-Aid.” Hargis said. by Maddison Farris
