A native Tulsan is making history as the first female president of Oklahoma State University.
Dr. Kayse Shrum was the president at OSU Health Sciences in Tulsa and said the new role will help her make more of an impact in Green Country.
“When you kind of let that sink in a little bit, there’s a lot of responsibility there to be that role model,” Shrum said.
Dr. Shrum was interviewed Tuesday by outgoing president Burns Hargis, where they talked about her life, family, and goals as OSU president.
"My goal is to really have a relevance and an engagement with industry and community and the state in a way that betters the community and our student experience," Shrum said.
