Love to see our TRIO students being rewarded for their hard work! Congratulations, Itzel!

NWOSU Department of Social Work is proud to recognize Itzel Castillo, a senior social work major from Laverne, as the 2026 recipient of the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) practicum stipend.

Castillo's practicum is part of the department's newly established IECMH Training Academy, funded by a $40,000 Child Welfare Professional Enhancement Program Student Payback Fund Grant. The academy provides specialized coursework, advanced training, and paid practicum experiences for students preparing to work in child and family serving fields.

"Receiving the IECMH stipend has been such a meaningful support in my professional journey. It has allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills. I'm truly grateful for the investment in my education and in the future of infant and early childhood mental health." — Itzel Castillo

Super excited to see some TRIO students getting out there! We know you’ll be great!

Twenty Northwestern Rangers are stepping into classrooms across Oklahoma and Kansas to complete their student teaching—the final hands-on experience before graduation this May!

These seniors are teaching everywhere from early childhood through high school, representing programs including elementary education, agriculture education, English, mathematics, social science, and health and sports science education.

Student teachers will return to campus monthly to assess their progress and attend a service learning day at the Oklahoma State Capitol in March. They'll complete exit interviews in May before graduating at Ranger Field on May 9 at 10:30 a.m.
