Inasmuch Foundation Chairman and CEO Robert J. Ross has been appointed by Governor Stitt to the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents.
“Bob Ross is the epitome of a great Oklahoman who has a long history of serving his community,” said Stitt. “He is passionate about making our state the best it can possibly be, loves the University of Oklahoma and will make sure our Oklahoma values are well represented in this new role.”
Ross will take the Board seat currently held by Michael Cawley, who asked not to be reappointed so he could spend more time with family.
Ross has served with several community groups. Before he began his time with the Inasmuch Foundation, Ross was an attorney with McAfee & Taft. He earned his juris doctorate from OU.
“Serving the University of Oklahoma as a regent is a high honor that comes with great responsibility. As a fourth generation Oklahoman, I have a deep commitment to our state and to the university,” said Ross. “I am incredibly thankful to Governor Stitt for his confidence in me and I am dedicated to ensuring the university continues to focus on producing the next generation of leaders in Oklahoma. I look forward to working with President Harroz and my fellow regents to position OU to excel amidst the changes in higher education and our economy.”
Ross still must be confirmed by the Oklahoma Senate.
