CETES incubator tenant launches regional
family publication
Dr. Peter Abramo, Executive Director of Cameron University’s Center for Emerging Technology and
Entrepreneurial Studies (CETES), has announced that one of the CETES incubator tenants, Oklahoma
Family Publishing, has just launched a new publication. The first edition of “Red River Family Magazine”
will be available across Southwest Oklahoma and North Texas on Monday, April 28. This publication is
dedicated to serving, informing and entertaining busy parents. Each month will include articles of special
interest for families with children ranging in age from newborn to 21 years, along with a calendar
showcasing a comprehensive list of upcoming regional events. Additionally, each issue will feature an
article aimed at an issue of particular concern to military families. The magazine is available for free to the
reader, with revenue generated through advertising. Oklahoma Family Publishing is owned by entrepreneur
Laura Clevenger and has a website, www.redriverfamily.com.
“The launch of Red River Family Magazine is a great success for CETES and Cameron University,” says
Abramo. “Laura Clevenger has put in tremendous effort, and we’ve been able to compliment it with
guidance on business issues, connection to resources, and locating a Cameron student intern to assist with
graphic design. This is a great example of the team effort led by Cameron University that can make a
positive difference in southwest Oklahoma.”
CETES serves as a catalyst for the development of technology-based industries in Southwest Oklahoma.
Using state-of-the-art technology with the expertise of CU faculty to provide support services for new
industries, the CETES incubator houses multiple start-up companies. Client companies such as Oklahoma
Family Publishing, LLC, who enter the incubator are provided space for conferences, meetings and product
demonstrations. CU faculty members provide advice in finance, strategic planning, marketing, accounting,
business plan development, technology and communication. An in-house support team provides assistance
with proposal preparation.
