EDMOND — OSU director of athletics to address Rotary Club of Edmond
Mike Holder, vice president for Athletic Programs and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Oklahoma State University, will be the featured speaker Wednesday at the Rotary Club of Edmond. The service organization meets at noon every Wednesday at the Sellers Event Center, 13700 N. Eastern Ave.
Holder hit the ground running when he was named to the vice president position Sept. 16, 2005.
In 32 years of leading his alma mater’s golf program, Holder’s name became synonymous with success not only on the golf course, but in fundraising, facility development and the academic performance of his student-athletes. Those leadership skills have served him well in guiding OSU’s athletic department. His plan and vision for the betterment of Cowboy and Cowgirl athletics have taken shape, most notably with the continued expansion of Boone Pickens Stadium.
Under Holder’s direction, OSU Athletics launched its innovative fundraising program called “Gift Of A Lifetime,” as the department places new emphasis on building OSU’s athletic endowment.
Holder, a graduate of Ardmore High School, earned his degree in marketing from Oklahoma State in 1970 and completed work on his MBA at OSU in 1973.
