Tukwila School District 2017 WASA Community Award: Pastor Jan Bolerjacksara1beth
The Tukwila School District awards this year's Community Service recognition to Pastor Jan Bolerjack!
"I think she may be an actual angel." "She is the most selfless person I have ever met." "She is THE person to turn to when our families have nowhere else to go." These are just a few of the many, many accolades from counselors and social workers about Rev. Jan Bolerjack—aka Pastor Jan—of Riverton Park United Methodist. Her careers span education, nursing, and ministry, giving her a holistic approach to social justice and service. Pastor Jan's love of our students and overwhelming hope for the future is evident in all that she does. When one of our families runs out of resources and is simply at a dead end, Pastor Jan is there to take our call—whether it be with shelter in her church or its grounds, food from her community food pantry, clothes or hygiene items, or a work/health/social connection. She serves our elementaries as a substitute teacher. She actively promoted our successful 2016 bond measure. She led the fight for a higher local minimum wage. The list goes on and on. She is a true Tukwila treasure.

Hello Sooners!
Welcome to another great year here at OU-Tulsa. I am so thrilled for
this time of filling our brains with knowledge so that we can impact our
community for a better tomorrow. Our campus is buzzing with activity
this year and we can’t wait for you to get involved!
During our time at OU-Tulsa, we realize how important the leadership
roles are in serving students. At OUTSGA, we want to empower and
unify the student body to build up strong leaders who are able to in
turn spread their influence to everyone around them. In order to
achieve this, we are offering a heap of opportunities for you to make an
impact both on campus and in our community. You can join one of our
many committees in OUTSGA, whether it be leading our campus in a
healthy lifestyle through Campus Health Committee, building relation-
ships with the community through Community Outreach Committee, or
being proper stewards of our resources through the Environmental
Sustainability Committee- there’s a place for you here.
We want to make it easier for students to vocalize their opinion and we
will personally stand up for their concerns by acknowledging the real
challenges students are facing. We have general meetings the first
Wednesday of every month from 5:30-6:30 in the Innovation Commons.
Come and hear what is happening on campus and voice your ideas,
we want to hear what you have to say.
We are so excited to have you in our Sooner family. Here is where we
prepare to change our world and OU-Tulsa can’t wait to be a part of the
process. Let’s make this our best year yet!
Until then, boomer!
