One is never sure how often to cite the opinions of others. At OVU we tend to point to how US News and World Report or Washington Monthly rank the university in a positive way Recently I also related in another blog what some others thought about the recent OVU lectureship.
So I point to the Commencement Address by Dr. Stafford North on April 24 at Oklahoma Christian. Stafford has been a towering influence in my own life. I admire him greatly. When I watched his speech I was deeply honored and humbled.
Stafford North called his speech. “Let your light shine.” You can find it at https://youtu.be/iF6esgTusgE
In reality, I value what Stafford said over the rankings in US News and World Report.
