DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy's Assistant Dean of External Relations, Mr. John W. Ritz, has accepted a position of employment outside the University of Oklahoma to return to his first love, petroleum engineering. Ritz reflected on his 9 years in development at OU by saying, “It has been very fulfilling through the support of an excellent staff, friends, alumni, faculty and colleagues. My sincere appreciation goes to President David L. Boren, the Office of Development and especially Dr. Larry Grillot for their support. Although I am excited about my new venture, I will continue to support and follow the success of the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy.”
