This year, three School of Business Administration alums will be honored at the 16th OU Alumni Awards Banquet, Saturday, Nov. 6, in the Oakland Center. Join OU alumni and friends at this annual event that honors those who have achieved success in business, community service, volunteerism and more.

SBA alumni honorees include:
