Dr. Frankie Wood-Black was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon. She received her BS degree from Central State University in Edmond, OK in 1984, and her MBA from Regis University in 2002. Wood-Black earned her PhD in physics at Oklahoma State University in 1989. Wood-Black accepted a position as Research Scientist at Phillips Petroleum Company followed by a position as an Environmental Scientist. She became a Technology Site Manager, and later a Technology Services marketing Manager at Phillips Petroleum. After working at a number of positions at ConocoPhillips from 2002-2007, she joined Trihydro Corporation as Senior Air Professional. In 2013, Dr. Wood-Black accepted a position as Principal of Sophic Pursuits and Adjunct Professor at OSU. In 2014, Wood-Black became Director of Process Technology at Northern Oklahoma College. Dr. Frankie Wood-Black's research focus in an industrial setting has been on plant environmental compliance and air regulation, safety, and crisis management. Her work with the ACS involved many initiatives, especially in chemical health, public outreach, and career development. ______________________________________________________________________________ About the Oklahoma Chemist Award The Oklahoma Chemist Award was initiated in 1971 and was primarily started by Dr. George R. Waller who was a faculty member in the Biochemistry Department at Oklahoma State University. Oklahoma is divided into five sections of the American Chemical Society, and each Section agreed to support this award on an annual basis. The concept for the award was to honor truly outstanding contributions made to the science and to the state by a chemist in recent years within the state of Oklahoma. Although originally designed to honor research chemists, an amendment was introduced in the 1980s to allow candidates to be nominated who had made extraordinary contributions to the area of chemical education whether it be to youth or to the public in general. Six such awards have been made to chemical educators over the years since the inception of the award in 1971. One award was to be given each year if a suitable candidate was identified from the research community or from education. The original award consisted of $500 and a handsome plaque formed in the shape of the state of Oklahoma. One member from each of the five Sections was appointed to compose a reviewing committee to accept nominations which were to be received around early February of each new year. The date was to permit sufficient time for the winner to be selected and to receive the cash award and plaque at the next annual Pentasectional Meeting in the spring. The Pentasectional Meeting brings together chemists from academia and from industry within the state one time each year to present research results. It is the largest meeting of chemists in Oklahoma. The OKLAHOMA CHEMIST AWARD is the most prestigious award given to a chemist within Oklahoma. The award now consists of $1000 as well as a handsome plaque in the shape of the state of Oklahoma. A brief description of the accomplishments by the recipient are engraved on the plaque and are submitted, along with a photo of the winner, to Chemical and Engineering News for official publication in a forthcoming issue. Chemical and Engineering News is a major publication of the American Chemical Society and has worldwide distribution.

(Bonnie Vculek / Enid News & Eagle) ______________________________________ Saturday was a historic day in the 16-year history of the Northern Oklahoma College Enid baseball program. The Jets pounded out 15 hits, including a two-run homer by Carlos Andjuar in the sixth, to beat Rose State 10-8 at David Allen Memorial Ballpark for their 10th straight win and boost their record to 30-3 coming into Wednesday’s Oklahoma Collegiate Conference opener with Western Oklahoma. It’s the first time NOC Enid has come into conference with 30 wins. “It was a goal that we have set,’’ said Jets coach Raydon Leaton, “but as we talked about before, wins one through 29 are just as important as the 30th. It wasn’t any more important than any other. We’re going to try to continue to win every time we step on the field.’’ “Coach Leaton said it’s never been done before in conference play so it’s a pretty big deal,’’ said outfielder Will Sprayberry, who was one-for-three and scored a run. “Everyone was hitting today. It was a closer game than we wanted, but it was still good for us.’’ The Raiders had 14 hits, including home runs by Garron Bates and Paul Kropf. Rose State scored three runs in the eighth to cut the lead to 10-8, but Sprayberry — making his first pitching appearance of the spring — struck out two and got Hayden Proctor to fly out in retiring the side in the ninth. Sprayberry had thrown 222/3 innings in relief as a freshman last year, but his pitching had been restricted to intrasquad games this spring until now. “It was kind of tough playing the outfield and then going in, but I was really happy to do it,’’ he said. “I thought it went real well. I had fun. I was just resting up before conference play.’’ Sprayberry, who came into the game hitting .402, said he wasn’t for sure how much he will be used on the mound in conference games. He had 21 strikeouts last season with a 5.46 ERA. “I think it will depend on the situation ... maybe in lefty-right matchups,’’ he said. “We had wanted to protect him a little bit,’’ Leaton said. “He’s so valuable to us offensively, so we wanted to wait until the second half until we used him as a closer. You saw what he could do. He is pretty effective.’’ Every Jets starter had at least one hit as NOC Enid scored two runs in the second, one in the third, four in the fourth and three in the sixth. Andujar gave the Jets a 9-5 lead with a two-run shot over the left field fence in the sixth. “It was a fastball inside,’’ he said. “I didn’t think it was going to go out when I hit it, but I knew they weren’t going to catch it.’’ It was his sixth homer of the season, and his three RBI on the day gave him a team-high 46 for the season. “We had a good game, but I know we can play better,’’ Andujar said. “It (30 wins) feels real good. We have a really good team.’’ Anthony Alvarez was three-for-five, including a two-RBI single which highlighted the four-run fourth. He scored three runs. Justin Brown, Braden Rogers and Blake Biggs were all two-for-five. Biggs scored twice and had an RBI. Case Harper and Daniel Davila had the Jets’ other RBI. T.J. Black had a double. “It was a good day to hit,’’ Leaton said. “There were two good-hitting teams out there today and when pitchers made mistakes, they made them pay for it. That’s part of it. You got to learn the win the 10-8 games as much as you do the 2-0 games. We made some good adjustments at the plate.’’ J.K. Hadlock raised his record to 4-0 in getting the win. He pitched five innings, allowing eight hits and four runs, all earned. He struck out four, walked a batter and hit two more.

Applications can be downloaded at: dmi.noc.edu Brad Matson, NOC Digital Media Institute director said, “The DMI program is designed to examine the latest technologies and techniques used in professional animation and design and bring that experience into our classroom. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that can help students gain digital design and animation skills as well as experience in the real world production environment. ” The students have worked on a several real world projects: Magnetic Solutions and DMI students participated in the Governors Cup. This project was modeled and animated by DMI students to simulate the resistance of an electromagnetics and superconducting magnets to create clean and efficient turbine energy. The students also created an animation of the boilers exploding that caused the sinking of the Sultana, the worst maritime disaster in American history, a documentary produced in Hollywood. They also created over 30 short promotional segments for the 25th Anniversary of Remington Park and for their 25th Running of the Oklahoma Derby, as well as many other professional projects to give the students professional production experience. “The DMI program redefines reality by focusing on specific methods used to transform ideas and concepts of digital media into creative digital portfolios and demo reels that show the skills needed for today’s competitive employment environment. After graduation from the Digital Media Institute the students will have the knowledge and skills necessary to communicate their ideas through the art of advanced computer graphics in order to continue their education in a specific field of study or to gain entry-level work and employment that could offer greater challenges in gaming, motion graphics, visual effects, and video/film production.” “All students will be immersed into the essentials of broadcast design, 2D and 3D animation, game design, visual effects, digital filmmaking, video production, and interactive web and DVD authoring. These core competencies provide the basis for the specialized instruction specific within the Digital Media Institute. Thus, whether it is 3D modeling and animation, graphic design for print, broadcast or gaming, visual effects, web technologies, or combining new media experiences, students will gain the skills necessary not only to work effectively in the existing areas of digital media production but to help shape the future of technology as an advanced student or an employee as well.” Matson said, “DMI’s educational experience in animation and digital media can lead to jobs in several industries. In the entertainment industry job offerings exist in video game asset creation, broadcast design, visual effects, video and digital film production. Other job opportunities are in the fields of government, healthcare, military, and industrial professions with simulations and animations, advertising, communications, and marketing: commercial spots, bumpers, rebranding, social media promotions, station identity and corporate identity. DMI sits at the forefront of educational experiences. We are the only school in the expanded mid-west that houses a sixty (60) seat farm, the biggest arsenal of industry software, and emerging technologies that are being tested to be included in the near future of DMI’s curriculum: projection mapping for the Roustabout show and exterior buildings, testing oculus technologies, and 3d printing for metal, plastics, sandstone, ceramics, wax, and gypsum. “There are several companies that contact me when they have a position to fill, so the opportunity is there. In fact, CVW Media in Norman has six (6) DMI graduates working for them. Kevin Hanley, CEO of CVW Media, loves the creativity and the work ethic of DMI students, so he hires some of my students every year. Digital Tutors dba Purlasight, world-wide leader in online media currently has seven (7) graduates currently employed at the studio.” Coursework in the Digital Media Animation and Design program include: 3D modeling, texturing, animation and rendering in Autodesk’s award winning Creation Suite: Maya, 3DS Max, and Mudbox; motion graphics for broadcast and film with Cinema 4D, Adobe Photoshop and After Effects; nonlinear digital video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro; designing and creating web sites for showcasing student talents using Adobe’s Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash; and authoring DVD’s for student demo reels with Adobe’s Encore and Audition. Matson is a recipient of the prestigious 2009 DaVinci Fellows Award which is given to college instructors for creative thinking in higher education. Matson’s award was given based on his partnership with “Game=Life,” a video game production company founded by a Northern DMI graduate, Adam Grantham. Through this partnership, Brad’s students were able to contribute to a medicinal video game that teaches how diabetics can maintain healthy blood sugar. Brad received a medal and $1000 in recognition for his creative approach to video design and for giving students practical work experience during their educational program.
