Dr. Kayse Shrum will be the next president of Oklahoma State University.
Shrum is currently the president of OSUâs Center for Health Services. She is a former member of Gov. Kevin Stittâs cabinet, as the Sec. of Science and Innovation.
After two days worth of lengthy deliberations, the OSU A&M Board of Regents selected Shrum out of four finalists.Â
She will be the university s 19th president and the first woman in the position. Iâm so honored and humbled by this appointment, Shrum said in the press conference that followed the board meeting. OSU has a special place in my heart, and Iâm thrilled at the opportunity to lead this vibrant university and the OSU system into a successful future.
