Centennial Projects

From the Centennial viewing area to the proposed grand entry, the Centennial Plaza pays tribute to the foresight of those who laid the groundwork for higher education in Oklahoma. Northeastern has worked hand-in-hand with the Cherokee Nation to design a unique reflective space that honors our shared history.

The bronze statue of Sequoyah stands upon a Cherokee star in the center of the viewing area within the newly created Centennial Plaza. The left hand of Sequoyah rests upon the staff that features intricately carved representations of the original Cherokee syllabary, the enduring legacy of this 19th century Cherokee diplomat and educator.
