History




The statue of Odin, designed by alumnus Nick Calcagno, stands in front of the Bruce G. Carter Library/Administration Building on the NEO A&M College campus.


The Oklahoma Senate passed Senate Bill 225 on March 17, 1919 to establish the Miami School of Mines.[1] The school began operations in September 1920.[2] In 1942, the school became Northeastern Oklahoma Junior College, as mining became less important in Miami.[3][4] In April 1943, the Board of Regents for the Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges gained control of the college, and the college became Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.[2]
