TULSA - About 100 students from KIPP Tulsa College Preparatory will get a glimpse into their future tomorrow as they kick off their school year at OSU-Tulsa.

For the third consecutive year, OSU-Tulsa will host the KIPP students for their first day of school. The fifth grade students will attend classes and participate in a campus tour.

School administrators plan the first day of classes on a university campus to emphasize the idea that KIPP students are starting their education where they will finish – at college.

KIPP Tulsa College Preparatory is part of a national network of schools in the “Knowledge is Power Program” and is operated through a partnership with Tulsa Public Schools.

After an opening day at OSU-Tulsa on Thursday, classes will resume at the Ellis Walker Woods building at 1661 East Virgin Street in Tulsa.
