Family Establishes Memorial Scholarship in Honor of UCO Student

The family of UCO student Adam Worden recently established the Adam Luke Worden Memorial Scholarship at UCO.

Parents Peter and Sharon Worden and daughter Samantha Moery, D.O., and her husband Monty Moery created the scholarship to honor the memory of Worden, who passed away in Sept. 2011.

"Adam loved UCO, and his heart was there even when he was unable to attend. This memorial scholarship is our way to honor his beautiful mind and contribute where he no longer can," Sharon Worden said.

UCO Debate Coach Named National Coach of the Year

University of Central Oklahoma debate coach Matt Moore was recently named the 2012 Dick Stine Coach of the Year, a nationally prestigious award given to junior varsity- or novice-level debate coaches.

"Receiving this award is a great honor because it's selected by my peer coaches," Moore said.

"Several of the past recipients have won national championships. Its an honor to be included on a list with them."

The Dick Stine award, presented by Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kan., is named for the creator of the National Junior Division Debate Tournament (NJDDT).

Central's debate team - made up of six Central freshman and sophomores - travel to approximately 12 tournaments each year.

A former Central debate team member and coach, Moore returned to his alma mater to coach the team in August 2011.

The team placed fifth at the 2012 NJDDT and 33^rd at the 2012 Cross Examination Debate Association Tournament.
