In Their Words

“As much as I enjoyed law enforcement and the military, I knew earning a leadership degree would open more opportunities for me as every organization has a leadership component. Using my military and leadership skills along with my OU degree, I’m now coaching CEOs and chairing a CEO peer advisory group.”

—Retired Lt. Col. Anthony Carter, M.A. Organizational Leadership, 2013
