Senate approves Eric Stevenson appointment to OU Regents

The Oklahoma Senate on Monday in a bipartisan, overwhelming vote approved the nomination of Eric Stevenson to serve on the Board of Regents for the University of Oklahoma.

Governor Kevin Stitt’s nomination was carried through the Senate confirmation process by President Pro Tempore Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City.

“I have carried many executive nominees through the confirmation process in the Oklahoma Senate, but none has been better suited or more qualified for their post as Eric Stevenson is to serve on the OU Board of Regents. As an alumnus of the University of Oklahoma, I am confident that Mr. Stevenson’s leadership will be instrumental in moving OU forward,” Treat said.

Stevenson serves as the senior vice president of retirement plans distribution at NationWide. He earned a bachelor’s of business administration in finance from the University of Oklahoma and a master’s degree from Northwestern University Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
