Beautiful day at Max Westheimer Aiport as we cut the ribbon on its new air traffic control tower.

There are so many people to thank for this, but we truly would not be here today without @TomColeOK04. We are so grateful for his support and investment in Oklahoma.

A great public research university should welcome hard questions, open debate and differing viewpoints.

This week, the University of Oklahoma marks its sixth annual Free Speech Week, joining institutions across the country in honoring the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.

In the video below, President Joseph Harroz, Jr. explains why these principles are central to who we are, and why the freedom to share our views comes with the responsibility to respect others’ right to do the same.

At OU, our job isn’t to tell students what to think. It’s to teach them how to think. To challenge ideas, engage with different perspectives, and prepare to lead beyond our campuses. That’s why OU adopted the Chicago Statement on Freedom of Expression, and why we remain committed to being a place where free speech flourishes and hate has no home.

Join us Thursday, Oct. 22, for this year’s keynote, “Why Free Speech Matters – To Us All,” with David Cole, Georgetown University Law professor and former National Legal Director of the ACLU.

I’m grateful to the Oklahoma City Council, Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust and @davidfholt for their partnership with @uofoklahoma and their support of Project 200 at the Harold Hamm Health Campus.

This investment will help bring approximately 520 new research jobs to OKC over the next five years. But its impact goes far beyond job creation. It’s about attracting the talent that will drive new discoveries, advance medical breakthroughs, and ultimately change lives by lifting the health of Oklahoma.

Together, we’re building something that will benefit our state for generations to come. https://t.co/QuLgvklhlP

The University of Oklahoma was honored to welcome U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to OU-Tulsa for the second annual Honorable Stephanie K. Seymour Lecture.

Hosted in conjunction with the Northern/Eastern Oklahoma Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, the evening featured a fireside chat between Justice Sotomayor and U.S. District Judge Sara E. Hill.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring members of the legal community together at OU for deeply engaging conversations that strengthen our understanding of the rule of law, civic engagement and the role each of us plays in our society.

[Joseph Harroz, Jr. @OU_President]

Thank you, Harold Hamm.

The future of health in Oklahoma will be forever changed by @uofoklahoma's announcement today of the largest gift in its history.

OU’s academic health enterprise has received an historic $150 million investment that will accelerate health education, research, and discovery – and expand our capacity to improve the health of our state for generations to come.

The naming of OU’s Health Campus in Harold’s honor reflects both the extraordinary impact of his philanthropy and the scale of what the university is building in academic health – ultimately, an investment in Oklahoma’s future.
