OU Regent's Alumni Award

Eleven exceptional University of Oklahoma alumni and friends received the Regents’ Alumni Awards for their dedication and service to OU in a ceremony May 11 on the Norman campus. Included in this year's honorees was Douglas "Che" Miller, MD ('07).


A committee formed by the Alumni Association selects the award recipients from nominations made by alumni, friends, and OU faculty and staff. Each recipient receives a plaque and their names are engraved on a permanent plaque in Oklahoma Memorial Union.  He joins Sam T Hamra, MD ('68) who was honored in 1995. Congratulations!

A new milestone

In July 1976, with a wing and prayer, a few books and journals and financial support from the Harris Foundation, the Department of Surgery Library opened it doors to faculty, residents and students.  Still going strong, thirty-five years later, the Department of Surgery Library would like to thank ALL of you for your support through the years.  Happy birthday and many more!!
