She continued her education and interned with Hampton Creative in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. While at Elevation Church, she was the only intern to ever have a design published on clothing, and it was the most successful piece of attire to date. She produced several pieces of promotional art that are still being used today.
Hogle graduated from OSUIT summa cum laude and was awarded the Marvin D. McQueen Outstanding Graduate Award. The Art Directors of Tulsa awarded Hogle an honorable mention for her identity pieces, and her portfolio received a distinguished Bronze Award.
She currently works at Life Church in Edmond, Oklahoma, as a web designer for the You Version Bible app.

Cook graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Bible and Youth Ministry in 2011 from Columbia International University in Columbia, South Carolina. In 2013, he moved his family to Oklahoma to pursue a degree at OSUIT in hopes of starting a new career path. His father-in-law, Michael Madden, is a faculty member in the Orthotics & Prosthetics program and piqued his interest in the Engineering Graphics and Design/Drafting program.
During his final semester, Cook participated in an internship at KAMO Power and accepted a drafting job upon conclusion of the internship. He has become a valuable member of the KAMO team by serving as an important conduit between the technicians in the field and the engineers in the office. KAMO is investing in Cook’s future by paying for him to further his education at Bismarck State College.
Parker Minor
Class of 2013 | School of Energy Technologies
Minor is from Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. He entered the Power Plant Technologies program at OSUIT in the fall of 2011. At the time, he was waiting tables and unsure of his future. With support from friends as well as OSUIT faculty and staff, he knew that he made the right career choice for himself.
In the summer of 2012, he received an opportunity to pursue an internship at Green Country Energy. Following the 16 week internship, Green Country Energy granted him the option to work part-time at the power plant while finishing his degree at OSUIT.
Following graduation in fall of 2013, Green Country Energy offered Parker a full-time position as an operator. Since graduation, he has worked his way up from a tech 3 outside operator to a backup lead position. He has been with Green Country Energy now for five years and enjoys every minute.
Minor hosts tours at the plant located in Jenks and is always willing to help train the next group of OSUIT graduates.
