I taught my first political science class in 1969 at Oklahoma Baptist University. American politics (and my eyewear) has changed since then, but my love of teaching hasn’t. It’s great to be back in the classroom today for my 55th semester as a professor. -DBo

To the OU family: Serving as your president has been the privilege of my life. I wish @OU14Pres well as he leads us forward. Tomorrow, I return to my favorite role: teacher! -DBo

At my inauguration 23 years ago, I issued a challenge: to join me in building a shared vision of excellence for OU. Tonight, at the university’s 126th Commencement, I will address the OU family for the last time as president. I hope you will join us. -DBo

I don’t have the words to fully express our gratitude to all who joined us this weekend. Thank you to all who have helped achieve excellence and build a true sense of family at OU over the last 23 years. Live on, University! -DBo

The health and safety of our students must always be our first concern. I have directed that adequate funding be allocated to add an additional trained psychologist to the University Counseling Center staff at Goddard Health Center. -DBo

Thank you, @OU_CoachStoops, for your remarkable achievements and outstanding character. It is our honor to celebrate you this weekend. -DBo #SaluteToStoops
