We extend our deepest gratitude to ONEOK for their exceptional support. Their commitment goes beyond financial contributions, reflecting a philosophy of service that enriches STEM education in our community.
ONEOK’s financial backing has been transformative, featuring substantial contributions such as their sponsorship of TRSA’s annual fundraising event, Flight Night, and their role as Presenting Sponsor for our Women in STEM event in partnership with Google this November. Their support exemplifies a steadfast dedication to empowering young women and marginalized groups, reinforcing STEM identity and belonging.
In addition to supporting TRSA, ONEOK creates funding opportunities that extend into the broader community. Their public school grants focus on enhancing the educational experience for K-12 students in public schools where the company operates. These grants provide equitable access to resources, supporting classroom enrichment projects, instructional technology, assistance for disadvantaged students, curriculum-based materials and equipment, and programs that help improve student performance.
ONEOK’s influence is not limited to financial donations alone. They are renowned for their tradition of employee engagement, generously offering time and talent through numerous mentoring initiatives. Their involvement in Me & My Math Mentor, partnering with Burroughs Elementary School, provides invaluable mentorship and enriches after-school experiences for students. Many ONEOK employees have given their time and expertise to make TRSA programs the powerful experiences they are designed to be.
In past years, ONEOK stakeholders have been especially involved in TRSA programs, including summer engineering camps and the Women in STEM Life Hack event, which focused on career preparation and STEM identity for young women.
A cornerstone of their support is their dedication to mentorship. ONEOK employees play a crucial role by hosting interns and teacher externs, bridging the gap between education and industry. This hands-on experience and professional development strengthen the educational ecosystem, offering invaluable opportunities for both students and educators.
We are profoundly grateful for ONEOK’s support and dedication! Their partnership is instrumental in advancing our mission and ensuring all youth are prepared and inspired for a STEM-enabled future.
