Dear OU Community,
As we begin a new academic year, I’m excited to welcome each of you to the University of Oklahoma! The start of each fall semester brings a unique energy to our campuses, filled with the promise of new opportunities and the excitement of what’s to come. Whether you’ve just arrived here or are returning to familiar grounds, we’re thrilled to welcome you home.
This year, we stand on the edge of something truly special. The unwavering spirit of our OU Family has propelled our ambitions and driven us to realize our boundless potential. From welcoming our largest-ever freshman classes four years in a row (with the size of this year’s class up 20% over the last two years), to consistently breaking records in research and fundraising, to offering a life-changing education at exceptional value, to uplifting the health of our state as Oklahoma’s first and only comprehensive academic health system, to celebrating our inaugural year in the SEC, and much more – the strides we’re making are stunning, and this is only the beginning.
With each challenge we embrace and every opportunity we seize, we’re shaping the next chapter of our extraordinary legacy. It’s going to be an unforgettable journey, and I look forward to all that we will achieve together in the months ahead.
Live On, University,
Joseph Harroz, Jr.
President
