Brad R. Carson has served as The University of Tulsa’s 21st president since July 1, 2021. Having built a distinguished career in public service, law, and education, he was a professor at the University of Virginia and a senior adviser at Boston Consulting Group. In 2015, President Obama appointed Carson acting under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness at the U.S. Department of Defense. Prior to that, he served as the under secretary of the U.S. Army. Carson served two terms (2001-2005) as a U.S. congressman, representing Oklahoma’s 2nd District. In 2008, he deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom as an intelligence officer and was awarded the Bronze Star. Carson also served as president and CEO of Cherokee Nation Businesses. He received his B.A. from Baylor University and was a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. He went on to earn a J.D. at the University of Oklahoma.

Welcome to the 149th commencement ceremony at The University of Tulsa.

Today marks a significant milestone in our graduates' lives as we celebrate their academic achievements and their journey into the future. The University of Tulsa is proud to honor our students' hard work, perseverance, and dedication.

As they step forward to receive their degrees, we also recognize the invaluable support of family, friends, and faculty who have contributed to their success. This ceremony not only symbolizes the culmination of years of study but also the beginning of new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We are excited to see the paths our graduates will take and their impact on their communities and beyond.

Congratulations to the Class of 2024! Let us commence the celebration of your remarkable accomplishments.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

SASHES

Global Education Veterans

TU acknowledges the invaluable global engagement experience of students who have either participated in a study abroad program during their time at TU or have traveled to the U.S. to study as international students. These students are distinguished by a red sash adorned with a globe.

TU students who have served in the United States Armed Services wear sashes with stars and stripes indicating their status as U.S. veterans.

THE MACE

The grand marshal of ceremonies carries the mace, symbolizing authority. It features a pewter upper portion with die-formed shapes, hand-engraved surfaces, black onyx stones, and The University of Tulsa seal. Its cocobolo wood shaft provides striking contrast. Designed by William R. Derrevere, it spans approximately four feet.

ALMA MATER

Hail to thee Alma Mater, gold and blue, Praise from thy sons and daughters, old and new. Pride in our hearts, our voices let us raise, Filled with devotion we will sing thy praise.

Alma Mater, now we honor, loyal, always true, We will lift our voice in chorus. Hail to Tulsa U! CONNECT WITH TU!
