Drew’s News
Two TU students received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to appear on national television last month in recognition for participating in a unique program. Chance Jackson and Shaun Roberts, both music education majors from Oklahoma, receive free room and board at a Tulsa retirement community in exchange for organizing and performing concerts for the residents and conducting open practices throughout the academic year. Local TV stations began reporting the news last year. But when the New York Post ran an article in November, it caught the attention of producers at “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

Securing our future
A prestigious new scholarship will promote interest in cyber careers for TU undergraduate students who will fill critical roles across the country and advance education and training in the cyber field. The Alan Paller Cyber Scholars program is a two-year pilot named in honor of Alan Paller, a pioneer in the cyber security industry. In 1989, Paller and his wife, Marsha, founded the SANS Institute, one of the world’s leading nongovernmental cyber security research and training organizations. Twenty-one inaugural Alan Paller Cyber Scholars have been selected and are eligible to receive nearly $25,000 a year in support thanks to the gift.

Access to experts
TU Law recently hosted Erwin Chemerinsky, a renowned authority on constitutional law and the Supreme Court and dean of University of California Berkeley Law, as keynote speaker for the annual John W. Hager Distinguished Lecture in Law. After the public event, Chemerinsky spoke with constitutional law students and answered questions about the Supreme Court, judicial ethics, and how politics affects rulings. TU Law “is a terrific law school with a great commitment to social justice,” he said. “I received terrific questions (from the students), questions that really made me think. I’m just tremendously impressed by the students here.”
