There are moments

when people and ideas converge to produce surprising results.

This happened at The University of Oklahoma in the 1950s when Bradley G. McDonald, from Enid, took classes from two exceptional OU professors.

Dedicated to excellence in education, these professors encouraged students to grow and develop academically and in terms of life-long understanding.

The annual Feaver-MacMinn seminar is open to juniors, seniors, and graduate students at OU who have at least a 3.0 GPA.

The competitive application process is usually announced the semester prior to the semester of the seminar.
