The Class of 2026 at Oklahoma City University School of Law has officially graduated!

Our city is full of scholars - young and old - seeking education and self-improvement. These last few weeks have seen graduations across our city and the culmination of many educational journeys. Congratulations to all of Oklahoma City’s graduates!

Today at OCU Law, we were honored to host former Congressman (and lawyer) Joe Kennedy III for a conversation with students. @OCULAW believes strongly in showing our students pathways to use their degree in the service of others.

Tonight @oculaw we hosted the second annual Clinton-Keating Lecture, where we hear from lawyers in public service. Last year we inaugurated this series with President Bill Clinton and Governor Frank Keating.

Tonight, we welcomed two alumni of OCU Law - Congressman Jason Smith (MO), Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee and Class of 2004; and Congressman Tim Moore (NC), former Speaker of the North Carolina House and Class of 1995.

Only 29 American law schools have at least two alumni currently serving in the U.S. House, and OCU Law is proud to be one of those 29. We appreciated the opportunity to hear from Congressmen Smith and Moore about their journeys and their service.
