One of my favorite events! I had the chance to instruct the current @YLOKYLOK class in the state legislative process. Thank you to Rep. Daniel Pae for sponsoring them and for adding to their experience. This was, I believe, my 15th year in a row to lead this mock legislature.

I will share more soon in my weekly column, but this was an incredible experience made possible by the @AECFNews and I am both optimistic for change and feel fortunate to have been in the room to learn from others.

Terry Don Phillips was a great leader for Oklahoma State University. I had the pleasure of getting to know him during my college years. He will be missed.

We are saddened by the loss of former Oklahoma State Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips.

His vision for our Athletic Department inspired a new and greater belief for what we could be.

Take care of yourself! I had to undergo a scalp treatment this week for years of sun damage. This is a cancer prevention. The cream creates what is akin to the worst sunburn i ever had, but worth it to be safe. Get yourself checked!
