Bison Connections, a popular event where alumni, business leaders, members of the community and friends of OBU gather for a meal, fellowship and networking, is returning to in-person events this September.<\/p>\n
The first event will take place Sept. 9 in Tulsa at 6:30 p.m. and the second will take place in Oklahoma City Sept. 30 at 11:30 a.m. Both will feature meals, a keynote speaker and updates from OBU President Dr. Heath A. Thomas.<\/p>\n
Bison Connections began in 2016 and has hosted 16 lunch events in Oklahoma City and two webinars during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sept. 9 event will be the first held in the Tulsa area.<\/p>\n
Jim Hively, director of development at OBU, organizes Bison Connections.<\/p>\n
\u201cBison Connections is a great platform for our alumni to connect and network,\u201d Hively said. \u201cYou will enjoy gathering with classmates, faculty and staff, and hearing updates from Bison Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bison Connections began through a joint effort by the Paul Dickinson School of Business, graduate programs, and the advancement and alumni relations office at OBU. The goal of these events is to engage with Oklahoma City metro and Tulsa area businesses, churches and organizations by providing quality speakers and content that would encourage and equip them to have ethical, positive and productive workplaces.<\/p>\n
