On Saturday, December 11, at 9 a.m., a ceremony will be held for undergraduate students (bachelor’s candidates).

Both ceremonies are scheduled for Bloomer Sullivan Arena.

Johnson was chancellor of the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education from 2007-21. He led a state system comprised of 25 state colleges and universities and 10 constituent agencies. Johnson provided leadership on matters relating to standards for Oklahoma higher education, courses and programs of study, budget allocations for institutions, fees and tuition, and strategic planning.

The State Regents named him Chancellor Emeritus in September 2021.
