University of Oklahoma professor hired as new dean of OSU of Arts and Sciences E lli e M elero, C i ty N ews Editor , @ e lean o r _ m el er o

With 109 majors offered, the College of Arts and Sciences is the biggest college on Oklahoma State’s campus, and in July, it will have a new dean.

Glen Krutz was announced as the new dean for the College of Arts and Sciences on March 26, and the Board of Regents approved the hire on Friday. Krutz’s approval marks the end of a national search that began in the fall.

“I’m really excited to join the Dean’s Council (at OSU) and to be with the great CAS Dean’s Office team,” Krutz said. “I’m really looking forward to getting to know the students and faculty at OSU, and I’m excited to come out to Stillwater.”

Krutz is the senior vice provost in the Office of Academic Affairs at the University of Oklahoma, a professor of political science and the Headington Hall Faculty-In-Residence.

He will transition to OSU about July 1.

Krutz was one of four finalists for the position. Gary Sandefur, the provost and senior vice president of OSU, said he was impressed with MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2019

all four of the finalists, but the committee ultimately chose Krutz because of his dedication to helping students.

“I think the main thing is his great experience in working on student success,” Sandefur said. “It is obvious commitment to students, but his desire to teach and be in the classroom and also his desire, and he seems to enjoy living in a residence hall with 300 students, so I think his commitment to students and his commitment to student success really kind of stood out.”

For about the past five years, Krutz has been working to increase student retention at OU, and he has had some success. Sandefur said he hopes Krutz will have the same success at OSU, and Krutz said he is eager to accept the challenge.

Before he can start to implement or develop any new plans to increase student retention and graduation, Krutz said he needs to get a better feel for OSU. He said he is communicating and starting to work with the associate deans in the Dean’s Office, so he has some ideas that he thinks will help, but OU is different from OSU, so he said he needs to spend more

One of the strategies he had success with at OU was to increase need-based financial aid, which is something President Hargis has mentioned wanting to improve at OSU. Krutz said providing need based financial aid is important to increasing student retention because many students leave after their freshman years, not because they want to, but because they cannot afford tuition.

Krutz said he also intends to work to ensure that classes offered within the College of Arts and Sciences are academically challenging and beneficial to students, and he said he wants to help the faculty be the best teachers they can be.

The last thing Krutz said he wants to focus on is making sure students, especially new students, have opportunities to get connected.

“I do think that continuing really the charge and challenge from the Regents and President Hargis and

Provost Sandefur to keep increasing student success,” Krutz said.

“So, increasing the rates of student retention and student graduation.

That’s a challenge I will definitely engage... I have a real passion for that.”

On Friday, the Board of Regents also approved Krutz as a professor and the Puterbaugh Foundation Chair.

Krutz said he is excited for the challenge of leading the largest college on OSU’s campus and what he considers to be the intellectual heart of the university.

He said he hopes to accomplish a lot during his time at OSU. “There’s a really good team in the dean’s office,” Krutz said. “I’ve been interacting with quite a few of them, the associate deans and such. It’s a terrific team, so I’m optimistic about coming in, working together and doing really good things for CAS and OSU.” Ellie Melero is a multimedia journalism sophomore from Leavenworth, Kansas.

‘There’s still a lot to do’: Hargis discusses goals for OSU K ay la Dunn , S taf f Repo rter , @ K aylaJ_Du n n

Editor’s Note: Oklahoma State President Burns Hargis sat down on Feb. 19 to talk about race issues on college campuses, good music and his time here at OSU. In this last installment of a three-part series, we’ll delve into Hargis’ plans for the future.

This spring marks Hargis’ 11th year as the President of OSU, a position the past six OSU presidents have held for an average of 9 years each.

When asked about plans to retire anytime soon, Hargis paused.

“Well at some point you

have to,” Hargis said. “But I’ve got a lot to do.”

Leaning back in his chair, Hargis chuckled to himself at the notion of retiring and began running through a laundry list of goals he plans to accomplish before throwing in the towel.

Overall, Hargis has two Kelly Kerr/O’Colly major goals. First, he said OSU President Burns Hargis poses for a portrait in Old Central. he wants to improve the freshman to sophomore percent, so, while OSU is the top. Hargis seeks to retention rate. Second, above average nationally, create an environment the he said he wants to run a Hargis said he wants better vast majority of students campaign for need-based for freshman attending not only want to stay in but scholarships.

OSU. can afford to stay in.

OSU has a freshman to “We can do better,” To help students finansophomore retention rate Hargis said. cially, Hargis plans to raise of 81 percent, according He went on to explain $100 million to $200 milto a study done by College the repercussions for drop- lion for need-based scholFactual. Nationally, the ping out of college, wasted arships through a massive same retention rate is 72 time and money being at fundraising campaign.

“We need to,” Hargis said. “I don’t want kids graduating with a lot of debt.”

Hargis said he understands the importance and necessity of having need-based scholarships available. In 2010, Hargis aided in the fundraising campaign “Branding Success,” which announced in December 2014 that it had raised $1.2 billion for OSU, which was $200 million above the original goal and two years ahead of schedule.

Hargis has a history of bold initiatives and philanthropic success at OSU. Having dedicated 11 years of service to OSU, he plans to continue doing

so alongside First Cowgirl Ann Hargis and Scruff, their dog.

“I love it here, my wife loves it here, and Scruff loves it here,” Hargis said.

Smiling contently, Hargis thought back over his years at OSU before laughing and quoting the American comedian George Burns.

“George Burns said, ‘Always leave the stage while they’re still applauding,’” Hargis said. “I don’t know if they’re still applauding, but there’s still a lot to do.”

THE LIGHT OF GOD! (Part #2) Jesus taught his disciples saying, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden...In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds, and praise your Father in heaven.” (Mt.5:14,16 NIV) I thought Jesus is the light? He is, but he comes to live by the Holy Spirit in each true believer. Jesus tells us that the gift of God is like living water; a well within that springs up to eternal life. (Jn.4:10,14) He said, “streams of living water would flow from within him (the true believer.)”

(Jn.7:38) He also said, “.. .anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”(Jn.14:12) Jesus is now at the Father ’s side in heaven with all power and authority, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2019

and has sent the Holy Spirit to every true believer. It is God who works in us to will and act according to his good purpose. (Phil.2:14) As we trust him with our lives, giving ourselves to him, God will lead and work his will in and through us. Remember, this light of God in not only knowledge and understanding. It is also the reality of God; his very life working through believers to demonstrate his existence and person to all mankind.

What a calling we have! It is the most important challenge to all our lives.

Let God’s will and life be seen in us, and bring glory and praise to our Father Again, the Christian life is not just attending meetings and going through certain rituals, but living out his truth and reality through our lives. Let’s go for the best!

SPOILER FREE review: ‘Avengers: EndGame’ might be Marvel’s best movie yet Je t T ur n er,

E ntertain m e n t E d i to r ,

@jboy_315

After a year of anticipation and speculation, Marvel fans finally find out what it meant to be in the “EndGame.”

The Russo Brothers, along with Marvel Studios, has brought us the perfect ending to more than 10 years and now 22 movies of storytelling.

Now, before you read the rest of this, know that the less you know about “EndGame,” the better.

This movie is full of surprises and even minor hints at what could happen might ruin the experience.

And that’s the thing about “EndGame.” You have to experience it. It’s more than just a movie.

With that in mind, I will do my best to keep this as spoiler free as possible.

Never before have I been through such a rollercoaster of emotions in a single movie. The Russos do a “Avengers: EndGame”/IMDb great job in finding the The cast of “Avengers: EndGame” at the world premier. tone balance in what could have easily been a dark movie. did a fantastic job. movie. There are equal The acting, as well, is This is a rewarding movparts comedy, drama, acgreat.

It’s impossible get into the plot without alluding to the twists and turns that happen, but I will say that this is a movie that feels as if it was made by fans, for fans. Whether this is your first MCU movie or you’ve seen them all and are intune with the comics, there is something for everyone in this movie.

Although the three-hour runtime of the movie might be frightening or intimidating to some, there is enough here that audiences should never be bored. It is a marvel to behold and you’ll be doing yourself a favor by seeing it as quickly as possible.

“Avengers: EndGame”

is definitely Marvel Studio’s most energetic and emotional film to date, somehow bringing 22 movies and more than 10 years of storytelling to a dramatic climax. We may never see this level of story telling again.

When faced with 14,000,605 possible endings to this chapter of the MCU, this outcome manages to be Marvel’s best.
