This trip offers something for everyone and a sampling of some recent innovations at Oklahoma State University. Alumni and visitors alike will enjoy a delightful – and delicious – day on this beautiful campus in Stillwater, about 90 minutes from Trinity Woods.

Lunch at Taylor’s Restaurant operated by OSU’s outstanding School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. The students from the Restaurant Operations course prepare the delicious food and serve you.  Drinks and dessert are served by students at the table. You will go to student-run buffet stations for your food. The theme for the day’s menu is “Brunch Cuisine” and you will not leave hungry!

Tour of the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts, this gorgeous new performing arts center on the OSU campus opened in October of 2019 and at last we get to tour it! The center comprises an 1,100-seat multipurpose theatre and a 217-seat recital hall. From the winding grand staircase to the tiles in the hallways designed with tiny waves, every crevice of the building was meticulously planned to exhibit the theme of artists on stage putting sound waves out and the ripple effect of their art.

Tour of Excelsior and ATLAS Flight Demonstration. Excelsior is the new home of OSU’s Unmanned Systems Research Institute (Think drones!).  It’s integration, testing and marker spaces allow teams to use unmanned systems for research related to the environment, ecology, weather, climate change and national security. ATLAS, or All Terrain Land and Air Sphere System, is designed to fly, hover, roll on the ground, and take to the air making it ideal for search and rescue efforts in disasters and for facility inspection and security work by the military and private companies.  It’s inventor, Ben Loh, will provide our flight demo.
