College of Arts and Sciences

This year's FOCAS* on A&S Week celebrates the shining stars of the college: the Distinguished Alumni, the faculty, staff and students. Departments and programs in the college welcome students and friends to explore each of the four divisions: the humanities, the natural sciences, the professional programs and the social sciences.

We celebrate our successes during FOCAS* on A&S Week from Feb. 20 to Feb. 25. Numerous departmental presentations are open to the public throughout the week and at the gala Kaleidoscope Evening on Friday night, we will honor four alumni with the Distinguished Alumni Award and two friends of the college with the Distinguished Service Award.

Our Silent Auction is online now, with a new category of Buy It Now packages, along with a listing of all items available at the Kaleidoscope Evening. Those interested in an item are welcome to begin the bidding process online. The final bids will be accepted at the Silent Auction proceeding the Kaleidoscope Dinner.

Free refreshments for hungry students available in Ellison Hall! Come by Ellison Hall, home of the college offices, any time starting at 8 a.m. during FOCAS* on A&S Week for a donut or a cookie. Along with the goodies, there will be a display by the Oklahoma Archeological Survey.
