Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on April 21, 1941)

Happy Birthday to the legendary David L. Boren! From steering Oklahoma through memorable moments as its 21st governor, to championing causes and crafting policies in his distinguished tenure in the Senate—your leadership has been nothing short of remarkable.

And let’s not forget your stellar second career as OU's beloved 13th president, guiding generations of Sooners with wisdom (and maybe some coffee-fueled inspiration). Your legacy continues strong; just think—for someone who left politics decades ago—you still manage impressive approval ratings that most current politicians dream about. Wishing you another year filled with laughter, health…and no pop quizzes!
