Northern Oklahoma College Director of Public Information Scott Cloud has been elected Chairman of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Communicator’s Council.

The Communicator’s Council is a statewide panel of chief public relations professionals from public Oklahoma colleges, universities, and higher education programs.  The council serves as a key advisory council to the Chancellor, State Regents’ staff and other state officials.

The council serves as a forum where higher education public relations professionals meet monthly to discuss matters of common interest and implement strategies designed to communicate the benefits Oklahoma and Oklahomans receive from the state’s investment in its higher education system.

Cloud has been employed at NOC the past five years.  Previously, he worked over 30 years in the newspaper industry at The Blanchard News, Tonkawa News, and Newkirk Herald Journal.

He is a graduate of Pauls Valley High School and attended the University of Oklahoma.
