Join us in congratulating Dr. Kellie Young!🥳Yesterday, OBU’s Board of Trustees voted to approve Dr. Young’s promotion from associate to full professor, the highest academic rank a faculty member can achieve. In addition to teaching, Dr. Young serves as the Director of Field Placements. She is known for her love for people, for being passionate about early childhood education, and for hosting many gatherings at her home (like the Freshman BBQ and annual Christmas party)!

OBU Teacher Candidates, as you participated in The Walk, you followed in the footsteps of those who came before you—but the path you will blaze in your own classrooms will be uniquely yours.
