KEYNOTE SPEAKER FRIDAY MORNING
Dr. George Henderson
George Henderson, Ph.D., joined the faculty of University of Oklahoma in 1967. During his career he founded OU’s Department of Human Relations and published 28 books. He is a man of many firsts: the first African-American to hold an endowed professorship in Oklahoma as well as the first African-American to purchase a home in the City of Norman. Dr. Henderson had three children whom many of us remember fondly when they attended University School.
If you would like to know more about Dr. Henderson’s career and his connection to Norman and University School, here is an audio and transcript of an interview from the Voices of Oklahoma Series produced by the Oklahoma Historical Commission.
We are honored to have Dr. Henderson speak to us at our reunion.
DONATE TO THE CAUSE
Donations are welcome! Our budget is very tight!
Calling… Everybody!
Fifty years ago, University School closed its doors for the very last time. In this 50th anniversary year of the school’s closing, we think it’s high time we celebrate together the unique and extraordinary experience we all had attending one of the best schools in the country.
What's the Scoop?
We are planning a big, all-school reunion for anyone who ever attended, taught or worked at Uni.
If you’re in touch with anyone connected with Uni — whether they graduated from the school or not — please let them know we’d love to have them attend.
Plans are progressing nicely and it's going to be a very fun event! Oh, and in answer to your unasked question, no, there’s not a home game happening that weekend.
