Spring Break has Sprung!

Many students at the university are flocking to beaches and ski slopes to give their brains a break this week, while many more are choosing to stay closer to Norman. If you're one of the lucky ones that won't have to mess with airlines and baggage claim, sand in every piece of clothing you own and rental skis and boots, then how will you fill your time? Here are a few suggestions:

Visit our world-class museums, such as the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the 45th Infantry Division Museum, the Oklahoma City National Memorial and museum, the Omniplex, the National Softball Hall of Fame, or the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.

Seach for events in one of the most diverse states in the nation, Oklahoma!
