HSC Miracle Run
Each spring, the HSC Student Association and Children’s Miracle Network sponsor a 5k USATF sanctioned race and a one mile fun run/walk to raise funds for the Children’s Medical Research Institute. The race and fun run/walk take place on the beautiful HSC campus.
Block Party and Spring Fling
To celebrate the start of the fall semester and the culmination of the spring, students enjoy free food, music and give-aways at these Student Association and Stillwater National Bank co-sponsored events. Located on the newly refurbished East Patio underneath the warm Oklahoma sun, study stresses melt away.
