OU Chemical Engineering Student Receives NIH Grant

Mon, 07 May 2012 15:00:00 GMT

A University of Oklahoma chemical engineering senior is the recipient of the prestigious NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences Medical Scientist Training Program grant.

Brandon Smith, a fifth-year senior from Houston, graduated in May with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering, pre-med option. Smith has accepted the stipend and tuition allowance for up to eight years, at which time he will have completed a combined M.D.-Ph.D. degree.

“In receiving this prestigious NIH Training grant, Brandon Smith has demonstrated his great personal talent and hard work and the excellence of OU’s undergraduate program in the medical sciences,” said OU President David L. Boren.

Smith will attend the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. After two years in Houston, he will attend Rice University for three to four years in pursuit of a doctorate in bioengineering, then transfer back to Baylor to complete his medical degree.

“We’re pleased, but not surprised, that Brandon has been accepted into this prestigious program,” said Lance Lobban, director of the School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering. “Brandon has done much more than earn top grades in his coursework. He’s also been an exemplary citizen and leader, serving as a mentor and tutor for sophomore chemical engineering students in our Chevron Phillips Mentor program and giving his time in numerous volunteer activities at OU and in the community.”

Smith, a 2007 graduate of Houston’s Memorial High School, cites his family history as playing a role in his success at OU. In May, he will become the third generation of his family with diplomas bearing the University of Oklahoma seal. His grandfather, father, mother, sister and cousin have degrees from OU. Smith prides himself on having taken his father’s advice to heart when he was a senior in high school contemplating his summer plans. “Dad encouraged me to start thinking about what I wanted to do,” Smith said. “I thought I’d like to go into the medical field, so I volunteered at the local hospital and took a basic life support class.”

Smith declared chemical engineering, pre-med option as an incoming freshman, knowing if he didn’t pursue a medical career, he would have many options as a chemical engineer, including a promising career in pharmaceuticals, drug development, the oil industry, among others. But his passion for becoming a physician did not wane.

Smith recognizes this chapter in his higher education journey will soon come to a close. However, he is keenly aware of the benefits his OU education has afforded him by the connections he has made along the way. Richard Wainerdi, OU alumnus and president of the Texas Medical Center, introduced Smith to Thomas Krouskop at the National Center for Human Performance in Houston, where he would spend two summers as an intern. He then interned one summer at the Shriner’s Hospital in Houston, a facility specializing in children’s cerebral palsy and the treatment of burns. Smith also shadowed a cardiothoracic surgeon in Raleigh, N.C., a total of four weeks: two weeks for two summers.

From more than 180 fields, Smith has narrowed the field in which he hopes to specialize to cardiology or neurology.

In Memory of James Ray Shadowens, Sr.

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:00:00 GMT

In Memory of

James Ray Shadowens, Sr.

August 29, 1918 - January 14, 2012

We have lost another member of our Houston Sooner family.

James Ray Shadowens, Sr. went to Heaven to be with his Lord and the love of his life, Dorothy on Saturday, January 14, 2012. Ray was devoted to God, The Church of the Nazarene and his family and friends. Funeral services were held Tuesday, January 17th at Klein Funeral Home, 9719 Wortham Blvd., followed by graveside services at Memorial Oaks Cemetery, 13001 Katy Freeway.

Ray and his twin sister Mae were born in Carterville, Illinois on August 20, 1918 to Henry and Pearl Shadowens. Ray and Mae were the youngest of nine siblings and most of their childhood and teenage years were spent in Dayton, Ohio. On September 5th, 1940, Ray married the most wonderful woman in his life, Dorothy Lewis. He graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in 1941 and then from the first class of the Nazarene Theological Seminary.

Ray was a devoted minister and pastor for over 45 years. While serving in Norman, Oklahoma, he became a lifetime fan of Oklahoma University sports. Upon retiring in 1978, Ray and Dorothy moved to Houston to be close to their family. After 65 years together, Dorothy died in April, 2006.

He is survived by his daughter, Dee Shadowens and son, James R. Shadowens, Jr. and his two grandsons, Bradley James and Daniel Keil Shadowens. He is also survived by his cherished sister-in-law, Mary Ellen Beam and many nieces and nephews.

If you have attended OU Club football watch parties, coaches’ caravans and other events during the past many years, you have seen Ray Shadowens with his daughter Dee rooting for his beloved Sooners. Ray was a valued member of our Houston Sooner family that we will sincerely miss.

In lieu of usual remembrances, contributions in memory of James Ray Shadowens, Sr. may be directed to Olivet Nazarene University, 1 University Ave. Bourbonnais, Illinois 60914 or The Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Those of us who had the opportunity to work with him on the OU Club board and scholarship committee know of his dedication and hard work to select the best and brightest students from the Houston area to attend the University of Oklahoma. His tireless energy and attention to detail resulted in one of most successful golf tournament fundraisers, benefiting the OU Club scholarship fund.

John was born in Houston on July 1, 1966 and graduated from Westchester High School in Spring Branch ISD. He was an honors graduate of the University of Oklahoma, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, serving as Treasurer and chapter President. He received his Juris Doctor from Baylor Law School, where he served as the Notes and Comments Editor for the Baylor Law Review. John was admitted to the Texas Bar in 1991. He was a member of the American Bar Association (Litigation Section), the Texas Association of Defense Counsel, and the Houston Bar Association. John was also a member of the St. Vincent de Paul parish and sang in the choir for many years.

John is survived by his wife, Kelly, and his children, Emily, Jennifer and Benjamin; mother, Ann Teague; and brothers Robert Teague of Oakland, California and James Teague of Kuching, Malaysia.

We have lost a great Sooner, a devoted husband and father, and a wonderful friend.

The family requests contributions may be made to the John Teague Memorial Fund, established for his children, c/o Jimmy Tindall, 2312 Blue Bonnet Blvd., Houston, Texas 77030; the OU Club of Houston Scholarship Fund, or Houston Hospice.

The Oklahoman Praises OU Club Football Radio Broadcast

Jerry Daman - noemail@ouclubofhouston.org — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Berry Tramel, sports columnist at The Oklahoman, recently wrote a column about past University of Oklahoma football play-by-play announcers, listing them in chronological order from 1937 when Walter Cronkite called Sooner plays. When OU Club of Houston member (and past president) Brad Wagner read the article, he noted several discrepancies in the list. So Brad fired off an email to Berry and advised him of the errors. (If you know Brad, he is the undisputed human database and encyclopedia of ANYTHING related to OU football).

Berry took notice of Brad's email, and the conversation ensued. Brad also mentioned the long-standing OU Club of Houston's football radio broadcast in Houston. To Brad's surprise, Berry Tramel wrote the following article.

OU football: Houston alums make radio happen

by Berry Tramel
Published: August 5, 2011

Sports columnist at The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com

Brad Wagner, a member of the OU Club of Houston, emailed me after my earlier post about the Sooner radio voices. He told me a little about the Houston club’s long-standing efforts to make sure OU football is on the radio in Greater Houston, and I thought it was interesting. Years ago, I learned OU was on the radio in markets like Dallas and Houston, and I just checked it off as more of the Sooners’ amazing lure. But I’ve dabbled in the radio business the last decade, and now I know that getting an out-of-market sports team’s games on the radio is very difficult.

I thought I would share some of Brad’s insights into how the Sooners are broadcast into one of their recruiting hubs.

“I’m in the middle of working on material for the OU Club of Houston’s annual radio broadcast project in which we sponsor the broadcasts for the Houston area. The club has undertaken this enormous task for 44 years. We start by securing a station (usually we’ll sign a multi-year contract) with which we buy blocks of time for the broadcasts. Next, we raise the funds through corporate and personal sponsorships. We then write the commercial spots; read them and help produce them at the station; help mix the music beds; number and code the spots; and, when all that is complete and the season gets underway, we fill out the logs for not only the games, but also the two weekly coaches call-in shows.

“Being down here in enemy territory, you’re not going to find stations that want to engage in all the particulars, so they basically let us do almost everything ourselves. The station’s primary responsibility (other than the aforementioned assistance with commercial production) is to run the board during broadcasts of the games and coaches shows.

“We keep in constant contact with the station and frequent contact with Learfield Sports, the latter to check for any changes in schedules as well as to download logs and other broadcast-related material.

“We start in June/July and go through December. It’s a labor of love but can, no doubt, be a grind and the administrative work is immense. I have 13 seasons of game and call-in show logs, not to mention tons of tapes and CDs, stacked on shelves here at home.

“I have mentioned only part of our whole project, albeit a large part. The flexibility we enjoy working on the radio broadcast project each year is what makes all the difference. It allows for a lot of creativity and helps keep us fresh from year to year. We keep the system pretty much the same from year to year, while making the necessary improvements and tweaks when needed.

“It’s only been over the past 15 to 20 years that OU Club members (radio broadcast committee members) have been involved to the extent I’ve described. In the early years, club/committee members assisted in securing advertisers, but to my knowledge, that was generally the extent of their involvement. The station employees did everything else in producing the local broadcasts. We’ve found that the evolution of our increased involvement arose as it became more difficult not only to find stations willing to broadcast OU games, but also to do all the legwork.

“I’m not aware of any other local alumni club, OU or otherwise, that undertakes this type of project. There very well may be, we simply do not know of any others, but sure would like to know to compare how they do things.”

So there you have it. Very impressive. From what I know of the radio business in the 21st century, I think it’s unlikely Sooner football could get on a Houston station any other way. Brad Wagner and his fellow committee members are an example of one of the myriad number of people who help make an organization like Sooner football prosper.

OU Club of Houston Announce 2010 Scholarship Award Recipients

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:00:00 GMT

The OU Club of Houston has awarded four-year scholarships to two outstanding Houston-area high school graduates. Danielle San Miguel, a 2010 graduate of Klein Oak High School received the Robert Simmer Memorial Scholarship, and Carter Tesh, a 2010 graduate of Katy Seven Lakes High School received the OU Club of Houston Scholarship.

Danielle San Miguel, Klein Oak High School, Spring, Texas

Danielle, the daughter of Mark and Carla San Miguel, graduated from Spring’s Klein Oak High School where she earned a 4.9 grade point average (based on a 4.0+ grading scale) and ranked 32 in her class of 799.

While attending Klein Oak High School, Danielle was a Group Commander for the Air Force Junior ROTC where she led 151 cadets. She received numerous awards for her outstanding service with AFJROTC programs, including the American Veteran’s Award, Air Force Association Award, California State Senate Award, and the President George W. Bush Gold Award.

Danielle was also a member of the National Honor Society, president of the German Club and volunteered for several community organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Adopt-A-Beach, Muscular Dystrophy Association and the AAR Animal Shelter.

At the University of Oklahoma, Danielle intends to study biological anthropology. “As a biological anthropologist, I hope to have the opportunity to study abroad in the Mediterranean region, mostly Italy and Egypt, two richly cultural areas of the world, to help answer the questions: Where do we come from and why are we so different?”

The Simmer Memorial Scholarship, awarded through the OU Club of Houston, is named in the memory of Robert W. Simmer, a graduate of the OU Law School and devoted supporter of the University of Oklahoma.

Carter Tesh, Seven Lakes High School, Katy, Texas

Carter, son of Bob and Kathy Tesh, graduated from Seven Lakes High School in Katy with a 3.82 grade point average (based on a 4.0 grading scale), and ranked 211 in his class of 623.

During high school, Carter earned an Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts where he served as a Senior Patrol Leader and on the Patrol Leadership Committee guiding his fellow scouts on campouts as well as helping plan meetings and activities. He was involved with scouting for seven years, volunteering more than 100 hours with community service and volunteer projects.

Two of Carter’s many creative passions are band and theater. He played in the marching band, where he learned to play the tuba, trombone and trumpet, and helped advance the Seven Lakes High School marching band to the 4A State Marching Finals. In theater, he performed in numerous school productions such as Winnie the Pooh, Harvey and Bye, Bye Birdie, directed scenes from Atonement and served on various production technical crews.

In his spare time, Carter interned at a Houston advertising agency where he gained valuable experience for his college major, taught swimming lessons, served as a life guard and worked as a retail sales associate.

“I took a tour of the University of Oklahoma and was very impressed with the business school. OU has a great marketing department and has many opportunities to study abroad that are very exciting to me. The campus is beautiful and I feel right at home!”

At the University of Oklahoma, Carter plans to study advertising and marketing and then attend graduate school for business. After graduation, his goal is to work in the marketing department of a major sports or entertainment company.
