Your Future...
Congratulations! You're about to begin a promising future!
You are about to become one of more than ten thousand others who have earned a legal education at The University of Oklahoma since 1909. In a mere 36 months you will be one of the many proud OU Law alumni who are found across the nation and across the world engaged in the private practice of law, working in business, serving as elected officials, employed as public servants and educators, or using the legal education they obtained here in a wide variety of other challenging pursuits.
Regardless of your personal reasons for coming to law school, your professional future will be shaped by your experiences here. The legal education you earn at OU Law will provide you with a solid intellectual base upon which your future business life will be built. You will leave here better equipped to meet the many challenges life has to offer, and help others do the same.
In addition to the intellectual growth you will undergo, you will find your personal life changed. Your future best friends are here at OU Law. Among them are successful people just like you on their way to a winning future. Among them are tomorrow's lawyers, judges, business leaders, politicians, and educators. Some will graduate to live and work in large cities for big firms or companies. Some will follow the path back home to become civic and business leaders in smaller communities across the State around the nation.
As a 1977 graduate of the OU College of Law, I know these things from personal experience. My legal education has served me well in a variety of capacities throughout my professional life. And of the many friendships I have today, those that began here in law school are among my closest. Whether as an Assistant United States Attorney, as a lawyer in a private practice, a businessman, municipal judge, or educator the journey I began here has been endlessly rewarding, and yours will too.
Congratulations. You're making a wise choice when you choose OU Law. And like all of those before you, you're about to begin a promising future.
Sincerely,
