OKU was founded in 1914 and was established to promote and recognize scholarship and character among students of dentistry. OKU’s goals include the recognition of individuals who distinguish themselves in the pursuit of excellence. Members are selected from among the highest ranking students in the senior class. Faculty members who have dental degrees may also be elected to membership and are recognized that they have contributed to the art, science, or literature of dentistry.
