The Seminole State College Board of Regents met Oct. 30 to conduct regular business, accept the College’s annual external audit, and approve a major facilities project for the Enoch Kelly Haney Center. The meeting followed an Audit Committee session held earlier that morning.

At the beginning of the meeting, SSC Women’s Volleyball Head Coach Hannah Kemp was recognized for reaching 100 career wins. President Lana Reynolds and the Regents commended Kemp for her leadership and the continued success of the program.

During the President’s Report, Reynolds shared updates on personnel and enrollment, federal grant activity, fall sports events and upcoming campus events.

With the first item on the agenda, the Board also approved the Agreement for Exchange of Services with the SSC Educational Foundation, a biennial item outlining shared services between the College and the Foundation.

The Board accepted the College’s fiscal year 2025 external audit, conducted by Hinkle & Company, P.C. Auditor Matt Bauman presented the report and answered questions, which covered College operations from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Hinkle & Company issued an unqualified — or clean — audit. The Audit Committee, Chair Marci Donaho and Regents Robyn Ready and Curtis Morgan, met prior to the full Board to review the document.

Regents then reviewed a proposal from Brightwell/EightTwenty to repair the Enoch Kelly Haney Center roof and install a solar energy system, addressing long-standing leak issues while generating long-term utility savings. The Board approved a motion to enter into an agreement with the two companies following negotiations regarding solar panel insurance. President Reynolds thanked the ad hoc working group, including Regents Curtis Morgan and Barry Tims, Vice Presidents Bill Knowles and Melanie Rinehart, and Director of Physical Plant Clint Robertson, for evaluating options and funding strategies.

Program reviews were approved for the Associate in Science in Agriculture, Associate in Applied Science in Engineering Technology, Associate in Science in Health, Physical Education & Recreation, and Associate in Science in Secondary Education. Following approval, these reviews will be submitted to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

Regents present at the meeting were Chair Marci Donaho, Mona Adkisson, Teresa Burnett, Curtis Morgan, Robyn Ready and Barry Tims. The next SSC Board of Regents meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 18, 2025.
