Hopefully you are enjoying some of the many benefits of the M2O program, however, sometimes it can be a challenge navigating two schools. The "What every M2O student Needs to Know" feature of this newsletter will provide you with quick reminders of important dates and things you should be doing to stay on track to acheive your goals.
Get to know your Academic Adviser(s) - Each semester you can meet with your OU Academic Adviser and your MCC Counselor at the same time at OU-
