RELIEVING THE DOG DAYScharlie and pete’s pet posse are easing stress and changing lives.

COURTESY OF KENDRIA COST

FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 2016 OCOLLY.COM PAGE 2

Her mom died about a month ago, but because of a dog, her spirits did not.

Amanda Slife is coping with her mother’s death through Charlie, a German shepherd mix in Pete’s Pet Posse whose unconditional love is helping to wash her troubles away.

P3 is a group of 22 therapy dogs at Oklahoma State University that helps students who are dealing with stress, frustrations and other mental health issues such as, in Slife’s case, grief.

Slife, an animal science and veterinary medicine junior, grew up around several kinds of animals. She was a foster child, and her mother worked at a veterinary clinic for 30 years. If animals went unclaimed, her mother took them in. Thanks to her mom, Slife has been around animals all her life.

Because of Slife’s lifelong experience with animals, Charlie seemed the perfect fit to cope with her mother’s death, and he was.

“He’s definitely my favorite,” Slife said. “He doesn’t care if he’s never seen you before or if he’s seen you a million times, he’ll greet you the same no matter what. He just loves to be loved on, and he has changed my life.”

Charlie is one of the P3 pro-gram’s most popular dogs. He connects with more than 1,000 people every year, according to P3’s impact tracker records, but he remembers students. He embraces

them and can sense when they are in need of support, mainly because he has been in their position, too.

Charlie’s owner, Kendria Cost, rescued him after he showed up at Cost’s house one day, she said. Cost never planned to keep Charlie; she tried everything from posters to social media campaigns to find him a home, she said, but nothing worked until a child of the owners drove past Cost and Charlie walk-ing on the side of the road.

Once contact information was traded, Cost decided to give Char-lie back, she said, but Charlie didn’t

want to go back.“Two days later, I got up and

looked out the window, and he was sitting on my deck,” Cost said. “At that point, I decided I was not giv-ing him back, that he wasn’t being cared for properly.”

Cost took Charlie to the vet and had his disposition checked to see if he would qualify to become a therapy dog, and he did.

Charlie’s life purpose is to be a therapy dog, Cost said. The excite-ment shared between Charlie and students such as Slife is a powerful display of emotion, Cost said.

“I really think it was meant to be for Charlie,” Cost said. “He loves coming to campus and kind of has his own little fan club.”

Like Slife, Ashley Walters, a fisheries and aquatic ecology sophomore, is a member of Char-lie’s fan club.

Walters isn’t judged when she goes to see Charlie or any of the other P3 dogs, she said; she feels only happiness. Her stress melts away with Charlie, she said. Char-lie is a special dog; he remembers Walters in a crowded room, and feeling wanted, though only for

a moment, is something she will never forget, she said.

“You don’t have to put thought into it,” Walters said. “You don’t have to set aside a certain amount of time to do a program. If you only have five minutes between classes, then that still helps with the stress. It helps to relax you.”

Another therapy dog at OSU, Evie, works alongside Charlie and came to the P3 program through a similar path. Like Charlie, Evie was rescued, her owner said.

Evie was a stray dog and was taken to the Shawnee Animal Shel-ter after a tornado ripped through the city May 19, 2013, Lorinda Schrammel said.

The tornado leveled Evie’s morale. She was gentle and timid when Schrammel came to see her, but Evie’s temperament made her a perfect candidate for therapy work, so Schrammel took her in, she said. After Evie was certified, she and Charlie became the first two dogs in P3, a program Evie was meant for, Schrammel said.

Evie has suffered plenty, Sch-rammel said, but as she has gotten through her struggles, she has discovered a new way to seek out students who are having problems.

“Her favorite thing, besides chasing squirrels, is to be on this campus,” Schrammel said. “She absolutely loves to be around students and help in whatever way she can.”

Charlie, Evie and the P3 dogs go through an “intense” training regi-men to become therapy certified, Schrammel said.

For a dog to earn therapy certi-fication, the handler needs to have taken training classes, which cost $300 and last more than six weeks, the approval from the handler’s de-partment head if he or she works at OSU and a $40 yearly fee to renew the certification.

“Just to see how many people that we’ve crossed paths with and

how many hours we’ve spent, it’s completely out of whack,” Schram-mel said. “We have a lot more contacts than the time we’ve spent, and that’s the point. How many people are we impacting is really what the point is.”

As the program earns more recognition, reaching more people in need, the number of P3 dogs is reaching 30 and has spread beyond Stillwater to the OSU campus in Tulsa.

Jerimy Sherin is one of the handlers who recently connected his dog, Liam, with the program to help students struggling with mental health.

Liam’s morale has improved because of the hundreds of people he has impacted, Sherin said.

“People just flock to him,” Sherin said. “He loves to just sit there and be petted, and he loves the attention, but he also loves to give it back. I believe that’s his purpose, and all dogs are searching for a purpose.”

With handlers such as Cost, Schrammel and Sherin connect-ing struggling students with dogs trained to handle stress, Cost said P3 is changing students’ lives.

“Dogs love unconditionally,” she said. “It’s a piece of home that some students miss a lot. … It’s a way for students to see a furry little creature and bend down and just get even a quick pet.”

With an increase in academic expectations and yearly tuition, there are more reasons for students to stress out.

Bekah Sanders gets an average of about five hours of sleep a night, with at least one to two nights of no sleep a week to complete home-work and other projects on time, she said.

Sanders, a graphic design junior, has learned to cope with her workload with time, but the transition from high school to college shocked her, she said.

“In high school, you hardly ever do any homework or even have that many respon-sibilities,” Sanders said. “College is all about working

toward the next deadline.”Thirty percent of students

surveyed said stress was the primary factor affecting their

academic status, accord-ing to the National Col-lege Health Assessment for spring 2015.

Oklahoma State offers multiple outlets for students to evaluate and learn how to handle their stress levels

such as University Counsel-ing Services and the Reboot Center.

“At the Reboot Center, we have no expectations of how often you come or for how long you stay,” Reboot Center coordinator Joni Hays said. “There is no schedul-ing system or place to make an appointment. Students are encouraged to come when-ever the feel the need to.

The Reboot Center opened in August 2012 as an addi-tional resource for students, Hays said. The center is free for students and faculty.

The center saw more than 1,000 students in fall 2015, Hays said.

“We see peaks throughout the semester depending on the amount of tests and as-signments students are being assigned,” Hays said. “Some classes require students to visit the Reboot Center as an assignment, which we enjoy because many people find it helpful and will often return multiple times.

The center tends to see more freshman and sopho-

mores than upper-classmen, according to the Reboot Center’s voluntary surveys.

The Reboot Center uses video game soft-ware that feeds off an in-dividual’s stress levels. The participants wear a sensor that measures stress physiology and gives feedback about heart rate and skin con-ductance such as perspi-ration in the hands.

“We offer individual modes, as well as mul-tiplayer, so students can

bring their friends in and allow their competi-tive side to work along-side their stress levels,” Hays said. “We find it helpful to practice this technique where per-formance is based on a competitive atmosphere such as taking an exam because that’s where students tend to stress out the most.”

Twenty percent of students claim their pri-mary factor for negative academic performance comes from lack of sleep, and 13.9 percent of students blame the additional stresses that come from a job, ac-cording to the National College Health Assess-ment for spring 2015.

Sanders is thankful her parents can back her financially because without them, she would not be able to support herself, she said.

“As a graphic design major, I had to get ac-cepted into the program my sophomore year, which meant I was sleeping very few hours

every night for almost two months,” Sanders said. “I’ve never had time for a job while in school, and a lot of other majors don’t al-low the time for a job, either.”

Students often don’t realize the source of their stress until they are completely over-whelmed, Hays said.

“We want students to know that relaxation can help with stress levels but can’t completely cure it,” Hays said. “Our mission is to help people learn more about stress and how to apply stress relieving skills.”

Hays recommends downloading apps or looking online for ways to relieve stress if stu-dents are unable to visit the Reboot Center, she said.

“It’s all about our perception of life,” Hays said. “We just have to learn how to control our own thoughts.”

OK-LSAMP Gives Opportunity to Minority STEM Students

Lawrence Ware, Oklahoma State University lecturer and coordinator of diversity in the department of philosophy, offered his insight in a recent New York Times article titled “Proud of Obama’s Presidency, Blacks are Sad to See Him Go.” The story examines the impact and importance an African American president has had on African Americans and other minority communities. Ware says, “Blacks are losing a first family that is a model of a working relationship.” The article also looks at the lasting impact the Obama presidency has had on race relations in the United States. Read the article at: http://okla.st/warenyt.

The Oklahoma Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (OK-LSAMP) brings together Oklahoma colleges and universities to develop programs increasing the number of under-represented populations earning degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Oklahoma State University serves as the lead institution for OK-LSAMP, which includes 10 other Oklahoma higher education institutions.

Kay Porter, program manager, helps recruit and mentor students who are involved in OK-LSAMP at Oklahoma State. The LSAMP program which is funded by the National Science Foundation has been in existence in Oklahoma since 1994.

“As the lead institution, we write all the research proposals and subcontract with the other 10 Oklahoma higher education

institutions,” Porter said.LSAMP works in five-year grant rotations.

These grants go to minority students who are majoring in STEM degree programs and involved in LSAMP. Dependent upon how much work and research the student does, they receive a debt-reducing stipend to go toward student loans and paying off their education.

“The program helps students find summer internships and research opportunities at prestigious intuitions like Harvard, Mayo Clinic and MIT,” Porter said. “Some students are even able to work abroad during their research internship.”

Nick Means, a December 2015 microbiology graduate and past member of OK-LSAMP, had an incredible journey with OK-LSAMP. He was able to complete a six-month research internship in France and attributes all of his

opportunities to Porter and OK-LSAMP.

“From day one in the program, it has busted open doors for me,” Means said. “I would not be where I am today without Kay and without LSAMP. Just a few months after entering the program, Kay introduced me to an opportunity to work abroad in France for six months working a paid research internship.”

Since graduation in 2015,

Means has been working as the OSU microbiology department webmaster in anticipation of joining the OU Health Sciences doctoral program in August 2016.

“It was my two research experiences and the crazy story of how I got involved in OK-LSAMP that made me a stand-out candidate for the doctoral program and it was Kay Porter who pushed me to seize all of the opportunities,” Means said.

There is no deadline for minority students to apply for OK-LSAMP, but the sooner they apply, the sooner students can begin reaping the benefits of the program. The program accepts applications for all undergraduate classifications.

The first director of the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station on campus, James C. Neal, is credited as a tireless and dedicated early leader for the college who personified the land grant idea.

Neal also taught natural sciences as well as providing research to help the farmers of the Oklahoma Territory. His efforts eased the earliest difficulties associated with establishing a college.

In 1895, Neal recruited students to help build a pond to use as a reservoir to solve water shortage problems on campus, known today as Theta Pond.

DIVERSITYEXCELLENCE


Phil Forte’s career at Oklahoma State is not done yet.

The sharpshooting guard from Flower Mound, Texas, announced Wednesday he will return to play in Gallagher-Iba Arena for a fifth season.

“I’m coming back,” Forte said. “The four years here at Oklahoma State have been the best four years of my life. I couldn’t ask for any-thing else.”

Speculation surrounded Forte’s return after tearing the ulnar col-lateral ligament in his left elbow in the third game of the 2015-16 season, which was initially his senior year.

Forte was granted a medical redshirt, but Forte’s return was questioned with the departure of coach Travis Ford. However, Forte said his commitment to Oklahoma State was deeper than a relation-ship with his coach.

“I obviously had a great relation-ship with coach Ford, and taking nothing away from him, but it’s these teammates; it’s the fans; it’s the community of Stillwater,” Forte said. “I just can’t see myself going anywhere else. I can’t see

myself putting on anther jersey, another uniform.”

Forte averaged 13.3 points dur-ing his three games this season, including a 24-point outing against UT Martin, his 100th game as a Cowboy.

Since the coaching change, Forte said he has spent a lot of time on his phone trying to keep anyone else on the team from leaving.

“These guys have a special bond; that’s why I was trying to keep in touch in them,” Forte said. “I wanna play with them. I like being around these guys on the court and off the court. They’re selfless, no egos with this group. I want

everybody to stay as a unit because I’m excited to see what this team can do together.”

Forte’s preparation for next year doesn’t stop with his recruitment of the team. During newly hired coach Brad Underwood’s tour of GIA, Forte was in the practice gym working on his game, Underwood said.

“There is a young man that stands for everything that’s right of being a student-athlete,” Under-wood said. “He has had a remark-able career. He’s gonna be one of OSU’s greats. … He’s been through the battles and the experi-ences, knows what it takes to be

successful.”Forte is 56 3-pointers away from

breaking Keiton Page’s school record, and Forte’s 686 points in Big 12 play ranks 10th in school history.

Forte said he wants to fin-ish what he started at OSU, and with his new coach, Forte said an NCAA Tournament run with the Cowboys is how he wants to finish.

“He’s won in the NCAA Tourna-

ment; that’s something I can’t say I’ve done,” Forte said. “That’s what excites me. Before I leave here, I wanna say not just I’ve won a game, but you know made a run in it, go to the Sweet 16, maybe the Elite Eight, Final Four something like that, and try to bring some of that tradition to OSU.”
