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.

The University of Oklahoma was created to do what no other higher education institution can: transform lives, uplift Oklahoma, and keep the American Dream within reach. In a time of rapid change across higher education, OU is thriving, and our momentum has never been stronger. Proudly and boldly: A degree from the University of Oklahoma is more affordable and valuable today than it was six years ago. And more students than ever are choosing OU.
