Within two short years at Oklahoma State University, Andrew Steadley created a legacy that will never be forgotten. He was a man of many words, but his actions spoke louder and inspired thousands. Andrew was a friend to all and strove to be the voice for the voiceless. Being adopted from a Russian orphanage at three, Andrew always had a heart for the underdog. Regardless of your background, your race, your economic status, or anything else that might be considered an obstacle, Andrew wanted you to realize YOU have the opportunity to change the world.

From Bixby, Oklahoma, only 80 miles from Stillwater, Andrew was always prideful from where he came.

Andrew diligently served along side more than 400 students as a leader in SGA.
Andrew's time as an Oklahoma State student was all too short - two and a half years, or about 912 days.
