"Although there is no single event that has molded me into the person I am today or who I will become upon leaving this institution, I am certain I have been inspired and enabled by Oklahoma State University," Oseland says. "I will graduate equipped and resolved to impact the world as an ambassador of the hope, creativity and resilience, which defines 'America's Brightest Orange.'" Oseland plans to pursue a master's degree in marriage and family therapy at OSU. The Outstanding Senior award recognizes students who distinguish themselves through academic achievement; campus and community activities; academic, athletic or extra-curricular honors or awards; scholarships and work ethic during their time at Oklahoma State University. The OSU Alumni Association Student Awards and Selection Committee selected the 15 winners after meeting with the 40 Seniors of Significance selected in the fall of 2011 and reviewing their applications. A public banquet honoring the Outstanding Seniors was held on April 23 at the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center in Stillwater.
