Education professor Dr. Liz Willner has succeeded Liz Donnelly as the OCU campus advocate on the R is for Thursday (R4T) network. R4T is a statewide collaboration of higher education professionals, community members, and organizations, and foster alumni college students/graduates working toward increased understanding and support of former foster youth attending Oklahoma colleges or universities.
The campus advocate's job is to support OCU students who have been in foster care and may have different needs than other students. The group sponsors independent living workshops for current foster youth who are between 16 and 18 years of age.
