Research is a key component to Oklahoma State University’s land grant mission.

In this episode, Dr. Kenneth Sewell — the school's Vice President of Research — talks with Senior VP of Operations, Zach Miles and Senior Associate VP for Technology and Economic Development Jerome Loughridge about how universities (with emphasis on OSU) leverage their facilities, personnel, students, tools, and resources to drive economic development and diversification across the globe. From unique assets available on campus to providing real-world opportunities for students, universities form the basis for many successful economies around the world.

Dr. Sewell, Jerome Loughridge and Zach Miles will be speaking more in depth on how OSU leverages their research and facilities at 'Research On Tap' — Monday, March 21 at Iron Monk Brewery in Stillwater. The informal discussion is open to the public and starts at 5:30 p.m.
