The Oklahoman - Steve Gust
Oklahoma Christian University junior Aubree Hughes is all about the college experience.
The Tuttle native said she knew she wanted to be part of the OC community and has never regretted her decision. Her older brother Austin went to Oklahoma Christian and now works for the university.
"It's everything I'd hoped it would be and then some," she said.
Likewise, the private Christian college probably envisions turning out students like Hughes, 21.

Congressional Republicans said on Tuesday that they’re open to boosting federal funding for cancer research, as the Obama administration proposed the day before. But they aren’t willing to simply rubberstamp the $755 million that the White House is asking for in the next fiscal year.
The Oklahoman - Chris Casteel
Rep. Tom Cole's grandmother loathed former President Andrew Jackson so much that she wouldn't even carry a $20 bill.
A Chickasaw like his grandmother, Cole said he also has "a very prejudiced view" of the man who served from 1829 to 1837.
In that time, Jackson ordered the removal of the Chickasaws and other Indian tribes from their longtime homes in southern U.S. states to Indian territory, what would later become Oklahoma. The forced relocation led to thousands of deaths along what came to be called the Trail of Tears.
Lawton Constitution - Malinda Rust
Fourth District U.S. Rep. Tom Cole paid a visit to Lawton’s Eisenhower High School Tuesday morning, visiting with students he believes are destined for great things.
Cole met with senior Rafael Lopez, who recently received a congressional nomination and appointment to the U.S. Military Academy from Cole’s office, but he spent much of his time talking to a group of Eisenhower students who will, in essence, be representing him during the Capitol Hill Challenge for the next 14 weeks.
Long before the controversial Iran nuclear agreement was set in motion by the Obama Administration, Republicans voiced their strong opposition to engaging and negotiating with the terrorist regime. Unfortunately, despite concerns from both lawmakers and many American citizens, President Obama chose to risk our nation’s security for an agreement that will undoubtedly increase volatility in the Middle East and ultimately pave the way for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. To call the Administration’s performance “disappointing” would be an understatement.
Lawton Constitution - Kim McConnell
Fourth District U.S. Rep. Tom Cole disagrees with constituents who say the most recent legislative session didn’t yield any results.
Cole was in Lawton late last week to meet with constituents, and the Republican congressman said while he agrees that more should have been accomplished, there were successes.
Duncan Banner - Andrew Morphew
Two local Duncan High School seniors were nominated by Congressman Tom Cole for entry into military schools.
Senior Blake Graham and senior Jonathan McGill were selected as part of 14 students, who went through the nomination program per Cole.
Duncan High School Principal Justin Smith had nothing but praise for both students.
“Both of those students are great students and exemplary kids that represent Duncan High School and very proud of them,” Smith said.
