AFTERdark visited the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman on Tuesday. The doors opened at 6 p.m. CT.

AFTERdark Visits OU
In an effort to minister to universities across the nation, AFTERdark made their most recent visit to the University of Oklahoma and provided students with uplifting speakers and a free concert.

Musician Jon McLaughlin performed and AFTERdark speaker Joe White and OU football standout Gerald McCoy spoke at the Lloyd Noble Center Tuesday; and it was all free to the public. With many students searching for answers and wanting to be put in the right direction, AFTERdark tours campuses and sets goals for students. There have been 120 AFTERdark events and nearly 200,000 students in attendance, according to whatsafterdark.com.

“AFTERdark was better than I anticipated,” sophomore Tim Beedle said after attending. “I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was worth attending. I’d be willing to travel to one of the next universities they go to.”

AFTERdark chooses their campuses stops based on student recognition and requests. Their next stop will be at Texas Christian University Wednesday, followed by Missouri State Thursday.
