Langston University

Langston University presents the 20th Annual President’s Scholarship Gala on Friday, October 10, 2025, at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. This highly anticipated event is co-hosted by multimedia entrepreneur Sheryl Underwood and features amazing performances by talented artists and the opportunity to support Oklahoma’s HBCU. The university’s hallmark event is made possible through the support and generosity of sponsors including platinum sponsors ImageNet Consulting and Jackson Mechanical Service Inc.

A loyal partner and supporter of Langston University, ImageNet Consulting has served as a gala platinum sponsor since its inception in 2007. “ImageNet has never backed off the platinum level. It’s not even a question. We’re going to always be there, supporting Langston University,” says Monica Hinton, senior enterprise account executive for ImageNet Consulting.

“A lot of students who make it to college would not otherwise have an opportunity to do so if there weren’t donors and supporters like ImageNet,” she adds. Having witnessed the passion of LU faculty, staff and students firsthand, Ms. Hinton is inspired by how the students carry themselves on campus and their excitement at attending Langston University. “A lot of these students wouldn’t be able to enroll if it weren’t for donors and people who have the same passion as they do.”
