Nancy Randolph Davis Day | Thursday, February 29 | 11:30A - 12:30P

Nancy Randolph Davis was the first African American to enroll in Oklahoma A&M College. After graduation she had a 43-year teaching career.  Each year, OSU-OKC honors Mrs. Davis. This will be an in-person ceremony at the Impact Center on campus. 

"Nancy Randolph Davis was the first black enrollee in the Oklahoma State system," said OSU-OKC Lead Instructor of Political Science Dr. Steven Collins. "All she wanted was an education, yet she became a legend. Her legacy will never be forgotten."
