TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — Northeastern State University has selected the individuals to be named as 2024 Centurions.

A Northeastern State University Centurion is an individual whose leadership and commitment, in the course of helping others, has made a significant impact during the university’s history. The honors are given to NSU alumni, faculty, staff, students or any member of the NSU community—whether past or present—who impacted the life of the nominator, the Northeastern community or the public at large. A Centurion can be living or deceased and should embody the legacy and spirit of NSU.

Since selecting 100 individuals as inaugural recipients of the Centurion Award during its Centennial Celebration in 2009, NSU has continued to add multiple names to the Centurion list each year.

The newest class of NSU Centurions to be honored include:

  • Dr. Eun-Jun Bang, Ph.D., MSW, MS, NSU Professor & Chair, School of Social Work
  • Mr. James Bell, NSU Director of Public Safety, 2013 and 2015 Alumnus
  • Mr. C. Fred Burks, NSU Foundation board member, 1969 Alumnus
  • Dr. William Jackson, O.D., 1991 Alumnus
  • Ms. Andrea D. Tucker, Past NSU Alumni board member, BBA 2006, MBA 2009
  • Cherokee Nation Deputy Chief Bryan Warner, 2009 Alumnus
  • Mr. Terry G. Williams, SVP, Chief Population Health Officer for Advocate Health, Vice Chief Academic Officer for Transformative Solutions for Advocate Health and 1989 Alumnus

“NSU takes pride in recognizing the 2024 Centurions, acknowledging their leadership and ongoing positive contributions,” NSU President Rodney Hanley said. “It will be an honor to be in the company of these outstanding individuals who embody the legacy of NSU.”

In celebration of NSU’s Founders Day 2024, these new members will be added to the roll of NSU Centurions and will be honored during a luncheon on March 6 at 11:30 a.m. in the Senator Herb Rozell Ballroom at the NSU University Center.
