ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú

Dear ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúans,

The season’s beautiful colors and crisp air that we all enjoy lead me to reflect on how transformation enriches our lives with new experiences. It’s been 50 years since ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Tribe of Oklahoma Chief Forest Olds and ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University President Phillip Shriver created a partnership that set ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University on an elevated trajectory. We have been celebrating the half-century of this powerful and ever-deepening partnership between the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Tribe and ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University all year. The culmination of this commemoration is approaching with "Celebrating ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú: Tribe and University Week," November 6-13.

This will be an extraordinary week on campus. I invite you to attend as many events as you can, especially “The Two ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉús: 50th Anniversary Celebration” at 11 a.m. Wednesday, November 9, in Millett Hall. This interactive experience is open to the campus community and the public. The celebration will highlight our unique relationship, its significance, and how we have been partners in learning across the years. I hope to see you there!

Love and Honor,
Gregory P. Crawford
