NORMAN – David Boren strolled onto the Holmberg Hall stage Wednesday. Wasn't the first time.
This was where Boren, as a Seminole High School student back when the world was young, competed in debate and performed saxophone solos.
This was where Boren was introduced as OU's president in November 1994. The man who had been governor and was a sitting U.S. Senator resigned from Capitol Hill to take his dream job.
And this is where the 76-year-old Boren announced he would retire from that dream job, effective June 30.
Boren will leave behind a transformed university.
