This July, Scott Eisenhauer, '99 general business, became the new chair of the Oklahoma State University Alumni Association's Board of Directors. As he starts the first year of his two-year term, he sat down with STATE magazine to introduce himself to readers and reflect on his new role.

Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you ended up at OSU?

A: I grew up on our family farm in Newkirk, Oklahoma, and was raised as a loyal Cowboy fan from birth. I can always remember there were several of our community leaders who proudly displayed their Alumni Association "circle" decals, and I couldn't wait to be able to have one of those! OSU was always my passionate choice.

What were some of your favorite things about your time here?

Some of my favorite memories at OSU revolve around the relationships and connections I developed. I'll always remember the student section of basketball games with Coach [Eddie] Sutton and then kicking off the "Raising the Roof" of Gallagher-Iba Arena.

What made you want to stay involved after graduation?

I have a passion for community engagement and giving back, so it's only logical that OSU is my top choice for staying involved. I want to make sure students have great experiences in Stillwater, and our passionate alumni and friends stay connected in all ways.

How does it feel to be the chair of the OSU Alumni Association's Board of Directors?

It's very humbling and a great honor and privilege to serve the Alumni Association as chair, representing more than 32,000 members. I look forward to meeting new alumni and friends in this role and growing America's Brightest Orange! Having the opportunity to lead the organization is a dream come true.

In your view, why should people be Alumni Association members?

The OSU Alumni Association helps individuals and families stay connected to the university and with other alumni and friends of OSU. It's a way to give back to the university, along with receiving some excellent member benefits. Lastly, remember that the OSU Alumni Association is the core of America's Greatest Homecoming. We want everyone involved.
