Mon, Dec 02, 2024

The Oklahoma State University Department of Art, Graphic Design and Art History's Fall 2024 BA Studio Capstone Exhibition is in its final week at the Gardiner Gallery of Art. The show, which features the talent of 21 graduating studio art students, closes Dec. 6. “There was no overarching concept for the exhibition,” Gardiner Gallery Director Lindsay Aveilhe said. “The BA students get to showcase their top works completed during their studio art program. Typically, we allow them up to five artworks, generally their best produced during the program. With 21 students — the most we've had in a graduating capstone show thus far — the exhibition includes over 100 works.”

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: How OSU’s Helium Recovery System is leading innovation in sustainability

Mon, Nov 11, 2024

After a time of uncertainty and scarcity — when consumers were stockpiling toilet paper and hand sanitizer — things were easing into normalcy in 2022. But that's when a different shortage began plaguing the Oklahoma State University Department of Chemistry. Due to widespread shortages, helium suppliers nationwide cut the amount of helium consumers could typically purchase. Because liquid helium is essential for conducting chemistry research at OSU, Drs. Margaret Eastman and Jimmie Weaver were challenged to think outside of the box to keep their department’s work going. The result was Oklahoma’s only helium recovery system (HRS) that liquefies recovered helium gas.
