Speaker Joe Castiglione

Joe Castiglione arrived on the Sooner campus in summer of 1998 and is the 11th and second longest serving director of athletics at OU.  During his17-year tenure, OU has realized 10 national championships and 72 conference titles, including five in the 2014-15 academic year. Facility improvement and construction of athletics facilities has been carried out at a record pace and Castiglione takes pride in the fact that those improvements have been paid for with private money. The most recent facility completion is the $75 million Headington Hall, which provides housing for the general student population as well as student-athletes. The bowling in of the football field was completed for the fall season and work continues on many other stadium upgrades.  Thanks Joe C. for joining us again! Go Sooners!
