Lauryn McAdam of Kingfisher and Makaly Cranford of Dover are being recognized in the 2019-20 Orange Book.

The Orange Book is an Oklahoma State University program that recognizes marketing and international business seniors who are academically outstanding, demonstrate service to their departments, university and/or community, or are active in extracurricular, academic or professional activities.

McAdam, daughter of Sarah and Gregg McAdam, plans on earning a degree in May.

As a current marketing and management student, she plans to graduate with enhanced knowledge to further her interests in marketing.

McAdam was an intern at the McGranahan Barn as an event coordinating assistant for the spring and summer of 2019. She said she has become quite fond of event coordinating and hopes to further her interests after graduating from OSU.

“Small town values, top-tier talent. Lauryn has faced significant obstacles, but she persevered and accomplished her goals. I recommend you talk to her,” Kevin Voss, Spears School of Business professor, said.

Cranford, daughter of Trilla and Dustin Cranford, is at OSU to follow in the footsteps of her mother.

She is working toward a degree in marketing with a minor in psychology. After graduating from OSU, Cranford intends to pursue a job in marketing research analytics.

“Makaly is complex, active and willing to get out of her comfort zone,” Dr. Lidan Xu, assistant professor of marketing, said.

The School of Marketing and International Business at Spears Business has acknowledged the importance of seniors’ achievements since 2010.

Each recipient was selected by the faculty for being an outstanding student and has taken their college experience to the next level by participating in courses that help them find opportunities to succeed and broaden their education.
