OBU—Oklahoma Baptist University

Oklahoma Baptist University students scheduled to return

April 26, 2023

Statement from Dr. Heath Thomas, Oklahoma Baptist University President:

“I’ve got some very exciting news. We have been working with all of our contractors to ensure a safe return to campus, and we are returning to campus for in-person learning on Monday, May 1.

We are excited that we have received the go-ahead from all our contractors and the specialists who have done all the assessments in every space on our campus.

So, we are returning for on-campus learning on Monday. It is a miracle of God.

God’s been really good to us and we are really excited to make this announcement. We are in Hallelujah territory right here.”

Big Serve: On Saturday, OBU will host Big Serve, a volunteer campus clean-up effort, beginning at 9 a.m. Check-in will be on the Raley Chapel lawn at the RecWell tent. Volunteers are asked to bring work gloves, rakes, brooms and shovels, if possible. Parking will be available at the Noble Center, behind the Bailey Business Center and in the MacArthur lot. Please RSVP by email to volunteer@okbu.edu by Friday evening.
