In August, I had the privilege of attending the annual State of Oklahoma Schools event, sponsored by the OKC Chamber. This event was more than just a meeting; it was a powerful opportunity to deepen connections within the business and academic communities, with a shared focus on the critical need to invest in education and grow our workforce.
During the event, I was fortunate to reconnect with several Langston graduates, including Teresa Goggin, an Account Executive at LocaliQ, and Mike Shelton, a member of the LU School Board. Their success stories are a testament to the strength of a Langston education and our alums’ positive impact on the world.
This gathering reminded me of the importance of collaboration and our potential to shape the future of education in Oklahoma. As we continue to build these relationships, I am energized by the possibilities that lie ahead for Langston University and our broader community. Together, we are not just connecting—we are creating a better future for all.
