Why did you select OBU? I had previously met Coach Fink at softball camp, and she obviously had integrity and a strong work ethic, and she was very encouraging. After visiting OBU, I was drawn to the beautiful campus, the Christian atmosphere, and the friendly faculty and staff. Everything just seemed to be falling into place and I truly felt that God was opening the door for me to come to Oklahoma Baptist University.
