Meet the spring 2026 Orange Gown Graduates
As Oklahoma State University’s spring 2026 commencement ceremonies peer over the horizon, soon-to-be-graduates likely find a new appreciation for the final tenet of the Cowboy Code — we finish what we start.
The weekend’s activities can serve as a celebration of the hard work and determination it’s taken to reach this point, while simultaneously unfolding a new foundation on which each graduate can build the next chapter of their lives.
For the group of Orange Gown graduates, the ceremonies provide an opportunity to help lead their respective colleges one final time and receive their diplomas first. Each orange-clad senior was selected in recognition of their academic achievements, participation in organizations and overall dedication to their education during their time at OSU.
The spring 2026 Orange Gown graduates are:
