OSU held a virtual meet-and-greet this week for Dr. Kayse Shrum, who was recently selected as the university’s 19th president.
Shrum served as state secretary of science and innovation from March 2019 through June 2020, playing a key role in building the state’s coronavirus response when there was a lack of testing or even just knowledge about the virus. That experience was like somebody handing you a road map and saying, OK, every major highway is shut down, don’t look at those. And now go find the destination. When you really have to go through an experience like that, you gain a lot of confidence in your ability to problem-solve and lead, Shrum said.
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.
