Friends,
This month’s newsletter marks an important milestone for me – my one-year anniversary as dean of the Price College of Business. While this past year presented unprecedented challenges, it also yielded unprecedented gains. In the video below, I recap some of Price College’s greatest achievements in a year like no other.
A New Season of Advancement Leadership
Price College recently welcomed Jared McDuffey as our new Executive Director of Advancement. Jared replaces Kristen Lazalier, who will continue advocating for Price College as a Principal Gifts Officer at the OU Foundation. Jared is a proud Oklahoma native and OU alum. He joins us after spending over a decade in fundraising roles in higher education and non-profits in New York City. You can read more about Jared below.
In-Person Opportunities
Last month, we were excited to present the graduating classes of 2021 and 2020 with in-person, socially distant commencement ceremonies in the Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and Lloyd Noble Center, the first such ceremonies since 2019. We’re also pleased to announce that fall study abroad is conditionally approved for more than a dozen countries and territories. We anticipate additional locations will open up as well.
