'Cowboy Community': OSU helping fire victim families with campus housing

STILLWATER, Okla. (KFOR) — The Connelly family lost their home in last month's wildfires, but Oklahoma State University decided to house them and a few other families, free of charge, while they work on restarting.

"That offered us a lot of stability," said Andrea Connelly.

Connelly is an OSU alumna, pouring back into her alma mater, working as an Extension Program Educator.

She specifically works with the Department of Transportation and its Vegetation Management team.
