Nightmare on Research Street 2021: In the Cloud No One Can Hear You Scream

The fourth annual Nightmare on Research Street, co-hosted by Graduate Student Life and University Libraries, occurred on Oct. 26 on the patio outside Ellison Hall. Sixteen students, faculty, and staff joined us at the outdoor awards ceremony for pizza. We all held onto our hats (with a maximum gust of 54 mph that day!) while viewing a silent film short about version control and bracing ourselves for the educational terror of the winning entries. 

We were able to offer five prizes for this year’s participants. In random prize draws, Jordan Droira, a Graduate Student in Philosophy, won a $25 OU Bookstore Gift Card for a close call with his Zotero backups. A.D., a recent OU graduate, won a 2 TB Hard Drive for a tale of battle between Microsoft Word and finals.
