Steve Lowe embarks upon his second season as head coach of the Murray State College women's basketball team in 2020-21. The '19 - ‘20 Aggies averaged 75.6 points per game, with five players shooting 35% or better from the three-point line. Under Lowe, the Aggies topped all NJCAA DI teams in threes per game (10.8) and made threes in a season (357). Alaijah Stewart was a Top 50 NJCAA Freshman All-Star, 2nd in the nation in total three-point field goals made on the season, and tied for 2nd in the nation in three-point field goals per game. As a freshman, Jillian Ingram was the All-Tournament Team MVP. In his first year at the MSC helm, Lowe and the Aggies went on a 10-game winning streak, which lead to an overall record of 21-12 and winning the Region II title. Lowe spent the previous five seasons (2014-19) as an assistant coach at the University of Portland. "Steve will bring to MSC great experience as a recruiter and teacher of the game,” Justin Cellum, Assistant V.P. for Business Affairs and former head coach, said at the time of Lowe's hiring. “The campus and community will enjoy watching our team under his leadership.” While at Portland, Lowe helped coach three second-team all-conference players, three honorable mention players, one freshman all-conference player and four first-team all-academic players. "I'm very blessed to be able to take over the program at Murray State College,” Lowe said at the time of his hiring. “I'm excited for the opportunity to continue what Coach Cellum has established. My vision is to build a culture of hard-working, respectful and disciplined student athletes who believe in being the best they can be every day on and off the floor.” Lowe spent three seasons (2011-14) at Eastern Washington in Cheney where he helped guide the Eagles to a WNIT berth and a combined 51 wins in three years. Under Lowe's watch, the Eagles landed a conference MVP honor, two first-team all-conference selections and a Big Sky Freshman of the Year. Prior to his stint in Cheney, Lowe spent three years as an assistant coach for the women's basketball program at Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma. Lowe helped the Aggies double their win total and excel in the classroom. During Lowe's three years on the staff, the team GPA improved from a 2.5 to 3.4. Lowe's first collegiate coaching experience came at Bellevue Community College where he helped take the team from a 4-22 mark during their first season to a remarkable 26-5 record in 2007. He helped lead the squad to a second-place finish in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) in 2007 and the team claimed a pair of North Division regular-season titles. Lowe is a 2001 graduate of Central Washington University, having earned his bachelor's degree in special education. He earned his master's degree in technological education from Walden University.

Cori Simon (Assistant Professor, University of Oklahoma) speaks with Sarah Eppler Janda (Professor, Cameron University) and Patricia Loughlin (Professor, University of Central Oklahoma) about their new edited volume, This Land is Herland: Gendered Activism in Oklahoma from the 1870s to the 2010s (University of Oklahoma Press, 2021). This collection of essays documents the impact of women activists on the history of tribal nations and the state of Oklahoma, and is the first book in a new series “Women and the American West,” at the University of Oklahoma Press. The chapters showcase the stories and strategies of thirteen individuals, including Indigenous, Black, and white women, who strived to transform their communities through political, economic, or civil action. Progressive reformer Kate Bernard, civil rights activist Clara Luper, or Comanche leader LaDonna Harris might be known to some readers. But contributors highlight less-famous Oklahomans as well: including Cherokee historian and educator Rachel Caroline Eaton, NAACP organizer California M. Taylor, and Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) advocate Wanda Jo Peltier Stapleton. In this conversation, we learn about how the editors—colleagues and friends—conceived of the volume, recruited contributions from scholars at all stages of their careers, and modified the plan in response to feedback from contributors, colleagues, students, and readers. They provide an orientation to the volume's structure and briefly discuss each chapter before turning to reflect on how the history of women in Oklahoma intersects with broad national and global political movements for racial justice, gender equality, and sovereignty.

Hi. Welcome to Estate Sale. Brad here, trying to process last week's insurrection, or what some people are calling a “self coup.” Whatever the name, it continues to take a toll on all of us as we await the Biden administration and some semblance of sanity. To make some sense of what happened, I decided to talk to another historian friend. Dr. Lance Janda is the chair of the Social Science department at Cameron University, and someone I met on my first day as a Phd Student at the university of Oklahoma. In this episode, we attempt to place last week's riots in some kind of historical context and take a stab at the major forces at work. 

나이지리아의 선지자| The One with Akinola Akinlawon – On Community Service, Male Vulnerability, and Self-Care: Episode 19 (2020)My guest today moved to the US from Nigeria in 2012 to bag a college degree. While at college at the Cameron University in Oklahoma, Akinola Akinlawon, popularly referred to as “AK,” served as a leader in various capacities, was recognized for his visionary involvement, community building, and academic excellence. As a student, his deep-rooted passion for helping others achieve their dreams inspired him to launch a first-ever student-driven tuition scholarship in 2015 aimed to assist Nigerian non-immigrant students in the US. He also founded his IT consulting business called Digital Designs and Engineering, which he runs to this day.Currently, Akin is completing a Master's degree in Management of Information Systems at the University of Houston and is the president of one of Houston's largest graduate student networks, The Bauer MBA Society.In this episode, Akin shares his motivation for starting the scholarship scheme for Nigerian international students in the US and gives an update of its current status. He also talks about self-care from a man's perspective using his life as a reference to offer lessons. He advocates for male vulnerability and prioritizing one's self.The good news is that Akin, a TFH (Tall, Fair, and Handsome) single guy who writes love poems, is ready to mingle. He gave details of his ideal “spec” and where interested single ladies can shot their shoots. But you wouldn't know this if you don't listen to the podcast.So download and enjoy it!

More information available through the Future Distributed website. This research lab focuses on the digitalisation of oil and gas operations and is (in my opinion) one of the most advanced research programs on infrastructure digital twins - mainly because the oil and gas sector has been doing ‘digital-twin’-type applications for more than 20 years. In this episode, we’ll be answering some big question like: What can we learn from the Oil and Gas sector who have been developing ‘digital twins’ for over 20 years? What are some of the current research challenges being tackled by the Sirius Centre? How is the centre collaborating with industrial partners to put this expertise into practice?

The sixties happened in Oklahoma too, argued Sarah Eppler Janda in Prairie Power: Student Activism, Counterculture, and Backlash in Oklahoma, 1962–1972(University of Oklahoma Press, 2018). While not a hub of activism and student protest on the scale of UC-Berkeley or Columbia, schools such as the University of Oklahoma and (to a lesser extent) Oklahoma State nonetheless had active student organizations such as Students for a Democratic Society. Borrowing from the language of the activists themselves, Janda dubs midwestern student protest to be “Prairie Power,” which had its beginnings in administrative paternalism and the stifling of student dissent. While typically less radical than its coastal analogues, Prairie Power was nonetheless similarly rooted in youth rebellion against censorship, American foreign policy, social norms, and racial hierarchy. Janda, a Professor of history at Cameron University, makes a compelling case for telling a broader story of 1960s and 1970s counterculture that looks beyond the usual places to uncover nuanced currents of protest on the Great Plains. Stephen Hausmann is a doctoral candidate at Temple University and Visiting Instructor of history at the University of Pittsburgh.

Are you living your purpose? Esther Hunter is an Inspirational Speaker, Author and Worship Leader, with 15+ years of experience, igniting passion into her audiences through practical demonstrations, powerful thoughts and strategic leadership insight. As a dynamic conference speaker, television and radio media guest, Esther conveys to her audiences the dynamics of education, business, faith, and civic responsibility. She has a Master of Business Administration from Cameron University and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy. During our conversation with Esther, we focus on leadership development, specifically developing the leader within and the responsibility of living out our purpose and vision as women.    Esther shares from her perspective as a leader in business, ministry and her family. She explains why it is so important for women to look within to find their purpose, rather than for external validation, and encourages women to never settle for less than they are capable of. Not only will you suffer in terms of confidence and power, it will negatively impact the people closest to you. Embrace your truth and who you really are, and then release it into the world! Key Takeaways Three Essential V's for women in leadership – VISION (directly related to your purpose), VIRTUE (strength to walk out your vision) and VICTORY (your testimony of what you made it through). Speak to the audience you are called to. Never settle for less than you're worth, and never settle for less than you can do. Any position that causes you to suppress the magnitude of what you can release is probably not your position. Make decisions based on purpose not feelings. Many women don't know their purpose and thus don't set boundaries for their life based upon that purpose. Some people are in our life for a reason, some for a season, and then there are some who are meant to transition in this journey of life with us. It's based on theirs and our life purpose. Each person in a relationship has to be comfortable with who they are, before they can be comfortable with who the person they are in a relationship with is being.  When a person is comfortable with who they are, then the need to compete is not there. You don't need permission from anyone to be who you were created to be. Stop looking for external things to affirm what you see on the inside. It is your vision, your life purpose, and you are ultimately responsible to fulfill it. As you move forward, external things will begin to accommodate what you see internally.
