I am enrolled @ the University of Oklahoma!

I am not a student in a traditional sense - as I'll be a faculty observer. 

I have an OU ID and login so I can be a part of the Oklahoma Scholar-Leadership Education Program.  (I never would have thought I'd be "enrolled" at the University of Oklahoma!)

That makes OU the 10th Academic School where I have been "enrolled" in some capacity in my life.  In most ways I'll be a fellow-learner in the course.

I will also be the only non-teaching-faculty participant, so this makes OU the 7th University I've had some kind of faculty relationship with!

I genuinely look forward to the course - and am enjoying the reading already!
