Oklahoma Baptist University will host a conference for area youth ministers Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the university's campus.

The conference is designed to help church personnel learn more about university life.

The one-day event will include a campus tour, a discussion on financial aid and scholarship, lunch with students, and a faculty-student panel.

OBU Bison men's basketball coach Doug Tolin will be speak at the lunch.

The faculty panel will include: Dr. John Cragin, Robert and Sara Lou Cargill professor of business; Dr. Bobby Kelly, Rowena Strickland assistant professor of religion; Dr. Linda McElroy, professor of health, physical education and recreation; Dr. Pam Robinson, director of teacher education; and Dr. Glenn Sanders, associate professor of history.

This marks the second year the university has sponsored the conference.
