Alexandra Ford | department head of hair 

"My favorite part of working in Oklahoma is how wonderfully pleasant almost everyone is. Oklahomans are also some of the hardest working peopled I have ever met. They work hard to get the job done, take direction well and are also willing to learn. Oklahoma is a great place to learn your craft and people often are willing to help and teach."

FEATURED BUSINESS
Westerlund Audio
Westerlund Audio designs guitar effects pedals for tone seekers and is passionate about creating sounds that put the attention on the player, not on the pedal. Their first release, the Westerlund ONE, is designed to do just that. The company got started with the idea to create a desert island overdrive pedal. Co-founders Shane Henry, Jim Robinson and Matt Stansberry spent years developing and modifying various prototypes until Westerlund landed on a pedal that they were so excited about they just had to release it into the world.
"The music industry in particular has experienced significant growth especially since the inception of ACM@UCO back in 2009. After the school launched then music venues followed and now we are seeing more opportunities for music in films and other avenues."
