Speaker Service

You are invited to discover some of the university's most outstanding teachers and researchers throughout the OU Speakers Service. Faculty and staff speakers from a wide variety of disciplines donate their time to share with you the educational resources available at the University of Oklahoma.

Designed for use by business, civic, and service organizations as well as schools throughout the state of Oklahoma, the OU Speakers Service offers a list of speakers and topics from which you can choose, or the coordinator will work with you to tailor a program especially for your group.

The Speakers Service is administered by the OU Faculty Senate. Participants' travel expenses and the cost of this brochure are provided by the OU Foundation.

The Oklahoma Climatological Survey and the Oklahoma Weather Center provide several speakers for weather and climate talks. Below is a list of these speakers and the titles of their talks.
