Today I am excited to announce that University of Oklahoma Health Sciences will now be known as University of Oklahoma Health Campus. Additionally, the logo used by our clinical enterprise, OU Health, will now include a logo descriptor that connects it more explicitly to the University of Oklahoma – reinforcing our collective missions of teaching, research, and clinical care – and it will be the primary logo used in joint marketing of our academic health system. Logos for our health-related colleges also will be updated to align with these changes.
Discover how “Lead On, University” is shaping the future of OU. Our refreshed Strategic Plan builds on our momentum while embracing transformative new aspirations that position us for even greater success and impact.
