New RSU Leadership Program Named in Honor of Dr. Larry Rice
The Dr. Larry Rice Community Leadership Fellows Program aims to further develop RSU students’ skillsets and enrich the students’ academic experience through community collaboration.
The program provides fellows with valuable insights into non-profit operations and approaches to strengthening communities, as well as what it means to be on the board of those entities by connecting RSU students with partnering non-profit boards.
Fellows develop additional skillsets for professional environments and have the opportunity to contribute innovative ideas, dynamic energy, and diverse experiences to the boards they serve.
Participating nonprofits include Rogers County Youth Services, Volunteers for Youth, Rogers County Literacy Council, Light of Hope, Claremore Public Schools Foundation, Safenet Services and Claremore Chamber of Commerce.
The program is named in honor of former university president Dr. Larry Rice as a tribute to him and a testament to his extensive service to numerous agencies and communities, and his unwavering commitment to student development.
