Rachel Watson
"UCO is not a research college, which means that the professors have time and are willing to work with students on independent research projects, conferences, and mentoring. UCO is a fantastic place to learn and grow!"
Caitlin Ford
"The thing I love most about UCO is that I can walk on campus and have a "big school" feel but have the class size of a smaller school. I love that every one of my professors have had real world experience in their field and are so passionate about their career that they wanted to share it with others. What I love about PLC is that I can make connections that will last a lifetime and share my college experience with so many wonderful people!"

I chose UCO because I felt like I belonged and that being different was something I didn't have to be afraid of."

Juan Estrada
I’m Juan Estrada and I am the incoming student representative for PLC. I am a sophomore studying psychology, and I am originally from Guymon, OK. With my degree I plan on becoming a counselor working with children and adolescents. I am involved with PLC, Pi Kappa Alpha, BronchoThon, and I am also an Orientation Leader and an RA in the quad. Being involved has made my time at Central so fun and rewarding and has opened so many doors of opportunities. Being in PLC has been such an amazing opportunity and I am so grateful. Here are some fun facts about me! I was a professional Mexican Folkloric dancer for four years in high school. I once almost chopped my finger off with a can of pineapples. Favorite quote “Lead Simply”.

I can't wait to see what all UCO has to offer!"
Marcia Clemmons
"I chose to be a broncho because of the role it has played in my family's legacy, my mother and three older siblings all attended UCO. I also chose to attend Central because of the experience I received attending a private Christian college for my concurrent studies in High School and chose the open and diverse atmosphere."
Leila Mazkoori
"It is really easy to make connections and find people who want to support your future career. UCO is also the most welcoming university in my opinion so it was also really easy to make life long friends. PLC is special to me because they acted as a motivation to improve some of the problems or just characteristics that I didn't like about myself. I felt like with their guidance I could become the person I wanted to be and strive for the goals I wanted without fear. They have watched me fail, but they have also been there to help me get back up, brush myself off, and go for my goals again. This is an organization that will not ridicule you for making mistakes, and to me that made my transition smoother having them in my life."
