The OU College of Allied Health was proud to welcome Dr. Lynne Davis, Dean of Health Sciences at Massachusetts Bay Community College and Allied Health Radiologic Technology alumna, for an inspiring presentation on the life-changing value of mentorship.

Dr. Davis reminded us how mentorship extends beyond formal relationships — emerging in collaboration, care, and everyday moments that shape both personal and professional growth in this generation and the next.

Thank you, Dr. Davis, for inspiring us to recognize the mentors in our own lives and to become that source of encouragement for others. ❤️

Beaming with Sooner pride for not one, not two, but THREE of our fantastic OU MIRS Radiography seniors! 🎉

❤️ The Betty Wunder Memorial Foundation continues the legacy of Betty Wunder, a pioneering radiographer who helped bring the first MRI machine to Oklahoma, advocated for pediatric radiation safety, and left a lasting impact at OU Children’s Hospital.

All three OU applicants that applied were recipients of this year’s Betty Wunder Memorial Foundation Scholarships! These outstanding students were recognized during the Annual Radiologic Technology Seminar & Expo on November 6 at the OU Health Campus in Nicholson Tower, coinciding with National Radiologic Technology Week.

This scholarship has a highly competitive statewide selection process, so we could not be more proud of these hardworking seniors that will no doubt carry on the Betty Wunder Legacy 💪

🩻 On November 8, 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays — a breakthrough that transformed modern medicine.

To mark the occasion, our OU MIRS Department joined the 3rd Annual Rad Dash 5K, a nationwide event hosted by the American Society of Radiologic Technology (ASRT).

👟 Their team, the "rOUd runners", laced up at Wheeler Park and ran along the river as part of the virtual 5K, celebrating innovation, teamwork, and the power of imaging in modern medicine!

☀️ Your daily reminder that caring for others starts with caring for yourself 🫶

During Allied Health Week last week, we celebrated the heart of healthcare — our allied health professionals, students, and educators who make a difference every day. 💪

OT kicked off the week with free fidget toys and Therapy Dog Maggie came out to visit! As the year winds down, remember that you deserve the same compassion and support you give to your patients and peers.

So give yourself that break in the Atrium, take a deep breath, recharge, and keep shining your light in healthcare! ❤️
