“Our commitment to providing a quality education, combined with a keen public perception that a university degree is a distinct advantage in today’s society, has enabled us to set this new enrollment record,” said OU President Gary Russi. “Moreover, our rising stature as a model university and the numerous infrastructure and student life improvements we’ve made continue to draw students to our campus in record numbers.”
