The 2025 Higher Education Day at the Capitol, originally scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the State Capitol, has been canceled due to anticipated inclement weather.
The event was set to feature a recognition ceremony for the recipients of the 2024 Distinguished Service Award for Higher Education.
Among the key figures invited to speak were Gov. Kevin Stitt, Speaker Kyle Hilbert, and Senate President Pro Tempore Lonnie Paxton, as well as other state leaders, including State Regents chair Dennis Casey and Chancellor Sean Burrage. Representatives from Oklahoma’s higher education institutions and students from the state’s colleges and universities were also expected to attend.
The event was designed to highlight the value of Oklahoma’s higher education system in workforce development and economic growth, while honoring individuals for their leadership and contributions during the 2024 legislative session.
