The RUSO Board unanimously approved Southwestern Oklahoma State University's request to rename its Chemistry, Pharmacy & Physics Building in honor of Randy L. Beutler, effective Jan. 1, 2026.

The Board approved Southwestern Oklahoma State University's request to rename the current Chemistry, Pharmacy & Physics (CPP) Building as "The Randy L. Beutler Building," effective Jan. 1, 2026.
