Dr. Lofgren's Retirement Celebration
A campus-wide celebration at Stanton L. Young Walk will honor Richard P. Lofgren, M.D., MPH, president and CEO of OU Health. Since 2022 he has helped guide meaningful transformation across the organization, drawing on nearly four decades of leadership in academic health care. This come-and-go gathering welcomes OU Health faculty, staff, patients, families, and community members to recognize his leadership, celebrate his contributions, and acknowledge his lasting impact on OU Health and the communities it serves.
Art Class: Studio Materials Exploration
Hosted at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, this four-session studio class invites young artists ages 8 to 12 to discover how different materials can shape ideas in art. Teaching Artist Jackie Nelson leads hands-on activities that build observation skills and encourage thoughtful creative choices. Each meeting focuses on a single medium. With clay, participants use a variety of building methods and surface textures to craft a small sculpture. With acrylic paint, they layer color to achieve depth and transparent effects. With oil pastels, they try resist techniques and create bold contrasts of light and shadow. With ink, they explore expressive lines and how marks can suggest movement and feeling. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. One registration covers all four sessions and cannot be prorated for missed classes. All supplies are provided, and students may bring snacks and drinks. Two OKCMOA staff members will be present throughout each class. Authorized adults must check students in and out at the Theater Lobby desk. Tuition is $100 for members and $140 for non-members. For questions about the class or registration, contact Programs Manager Neely Simms at nsimms@okcmoa.com.

Participants also explore a whimsical cat gazing at a fish with an emphasized eye, paint tranquil water scenes, and practice methods like wet on dry and salt texture effects, with additional activities woven throughout the course.
