Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL)

Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL) is a student-run mock legislature that holds session every semester in the actual chambers of the Oklahoma State Legislature in Oklahoma City. It was founded by former Oklahoma Governor George Nigh and also includes mock executive, judiciary, and press corps positions.

Led by students, NSU’s chapter of OIL meets regularly to train students to write, debate, and pass legislation. Some students also prepare for executive, judicial, and journalism roles. All training is designed to prepare students for the five-day mock legislative sessions held once per semester at the state capitol.

Because the NSU delegation competes with other Oklahoma colleges and universities at the fall and spring mock legislative sessions, students are able to establish friendships with students from around the state, many of whom will be future members of state and local government. Several current members of the Oklahoma State Legislature, for example, are former members of OIL.

If you are interested in becoming part of OIL, contact the faculty advisor, Dr. Christopher Weaver, at weaver22@nsuok.edu.
