WE DID IT! 125 FACES OF NOC!

When we set out on this journey, we had a goal: to reach 125 Faces of NOC by this fall in celebration of Northern Oklahoma College’s 125th anniversary. And we reached it!

125 Faces. 125 Stories. 125 Years of NOC.

Faces of NOC is an opportunity to highlight the success stories of our alumni and share the many ways NOC has helped shape their educational and career journeys. Each Face features a photo and a short story showcasing their NOC experience, and their framed piece is displayed throughout our hallways for current and future students to see.

Faces of NOC is something we do across all three NOC campuses — Tonkawa, Enid, and Stillwater. For some of our past milestone anniversaries, we set goals for the number of Faces represented at our Enid and Stillwater campuses. So, with Tonkawa celebrating 125 years this year, we knew we had to go big!

And what better way to celebrate than with 125 Faces representing all three campuses?

Our newest Faces are now on display at the Eleanor Hays Art Gallery through December 8 as part of the 125 Life-Changing Years art exhibition, alongside 24 additional Faces from our Enid and Stillwater campuses.

This project is about so much more than a number. It’s about connection. It gives current and future students the opportunity to see the incredible paths NOC alumni have taken, while giving our alumni the chance to come back, share their stories, and inspire the next generation.

To every NOC alum who shared their story and became a Face of NOC — thank you! Your story is now a part of NOC’s story.

Here’s to 125 years of life-changing education, 125 incredible Faces, and countless stories still to come!
