It's Bedlam!

While one sports America’s Brightest Orange and another the Crimson and Cream, there is one thing the Youth Leadership Oklahoma Interns can agree on-WE LOVE YLOK! Youth Leadership Oklahoma is an experience unmatched by any other, ultimately paving the way for incredible leaders all throughout our great state of Oklahoma. Interested in seeing just how fun YLOK can be? Follow along with our blog as we post nightly updates during the course of the week, but first let us introduce ourselves!

Jonna Vanderslice with University of Oklahoma President David Boren!

Hello all, my name is Jonna Vanderslice! I’m from Weatherford, OK and attend the University of Oklahoma. I had the opportunity to be a part of YLOK Class XIII and to say that it was the time of my life would be an understatement. I am thrilled to see what this year has in store! This week, I hope you will be given the chance to meet some of the best leaders in Oklahoma, learn things about Oklahoma you never realized before, and see the countless opportunities that our great state has to offer!  Colton and I are both SO excited to get to share this week with you and can’t wait to get to know you!

Hey friends! My name is Colton Clark and I am Junior at Oklahoma State University studying Management Information Systems. I am from the great metropolis of Seminole, OK and my high school fight song is still stuck in my head every day. I am looking forward to returning to Youth Leadership Oklahoma and serving as an intern alongside Jonna, a fellow graduate of YLOK Class XIII.  Youth Leadership Oklahoma has allowed me the opportunity to build incredible friendships that still continue to this very day.  We are so excited to kick off the week and hope you follow along with our adventures along the way!

Flashback to our YLOK trip in 2013!
We may be older, but we're just as cool as we were back in the day

The memories made throughout YLOK will be absolutely incredible and we cannot wait to join our 50 new best friends as we gallivant across the great state of O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!
