We are deeply grateful for the decades of leadership, love, and wisdom Dr. George Henderson has poured into our university.

It was a privilege to gather in Holmberg Hall this week to hear and learn from Dr. Henderson as he prepares to retire after 58 remarkable years at the University of Oklahoma.

Last night, the OU Symphony Band honored the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing with a powerful concert, titled "From Far to Near."

The program, performed by 60 student musicians, featured seven works exploring themes of resilience, remembrance, and healing. This included the debut performance of "Cathedral of Fountains," a deeply moving piece inspired by the Survivor Tree at @okcnm and composed by Aaron Perrine. A snippet can be heard in the second slide. The full performance is on our Facebook.

This @oumusic performance was a tribute to the 168 lives lost, the hundreds injured, and the countless lives forever changed on April 19, 1995.

these students have gone above and beyond in their campus involvement, and we’re proud to celebrate the incredible legacies they’ll leave behind long after graduation.
