<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light","sans-serif"">As a result of a recent change in our board, Regent Jeffrey W. Hickman has replaced Regent Andy Lester as Secretary of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
This means that Regent Hickman’s signature should appear on your academic year 2019-2020 diplomas, including fall 2019 graduates. Updated signatures were sent to your presidents and chief academic officers this afternoon; please be sure your diplomas contain
the correct signatures: Chairman Joseph L. Parker, Jr.; Secretary Jeffrey W. Hickman; and Chancellor Glen D. Johnson.
