Seminole State College sophomore Ethan Rich, of Prague, was selected as one of only ten students from colleges and universities across Oklahoma to participate in the 2025 Oklahoma Academy Town Hall, held Oct. 26\u201329 at the River Spirit Casino Resort in Tulsa. Also representing SSC were President Lana Reynolds and SSC Educational Foundation Chair Mark Schell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Town Hall theme, \u201cForging Our Future Beyond ARPA,\u201d focused on how Oklahoma can build on American Rescue Plan Act investments to strengthen communities and drive long-term resilience. Over four days, participants collaborated with civic leaders, policymakers and community advocates to develop actionable public policy recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1967 as a nonpartisan forum to advance sound public policy, the Oklahoma Academy adopted its Town Hall model in 2001 to convene diverse voices and convert ideas into consensus recommendations. The organization will compile and publish findings from this year\u2019s discussions following the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEthan represented SSC incredibly well,\u201d President Reynolds said. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to see our students engaged in meaningful conversations about Oklahoma\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
