David Kofoed: Summer 2009 Recipient
Graduates summer 2009: A.A.S. degree in marketing
After seven years of attending OSU-Oklahoma City part time, David Kofoed won the
Summer Enrollment Sweepstakes. He chose to enroll at OSU-OKC because of the proximity
of the university to his home and he enjoys the university’s environment.
David feels OSU-OKC has a lot to offer someone who works full time during the day
and he appreciates the adjunct professors who teach at night after working a full
day. “Without them it would have been a lot harder for me to earn my degree,”
he said. For the future, David wants to finish his management degree and work toward
getting his masters in accounting with the possibility of returning to campus. “I
would like to possibly teach accounting or other business classes at OSU-OKC...,“
he said.
