OKMULGEE, Okla. – The Muscogee (Creek) Nation has purchased 15 acres of
land from Oklahoma State University
Institute of Technology for the College of the Muscogee Nation’s Campus. OSUIT
President,
Dr. Bob Klabenes, and Muscogee Creek Principal Chief A.D. Ellis, completed the
property transfer earlier this year. f
The College of the Muscogee Nation offers two-year Associate Degrees
and is one of four tribal colleges within the state of
Oklahoma. The college plans to start construction on its first building in a few months.
Klabenes
said “this will be an excellent opportunity for all
students pursuing a post secondary education. With
this purchase we will have an educational complex
composed of OSUIT, Green Country Technology Center,
and the CMN, all within a mile of one another.”
