She joined the faculty at OCU Law as a Visiting Professor three years ago and taught Estate Planning as an Adjunct Professor at OCU for eight years before that. She currently serves on the board of trustees for the Oklahoma City Community Foundation and served on the Edmond City Council from May 2021 to May 2025.

This past week, President Howard Valandra and Program Officer Harold Compton visited tribal partners in Oklahoma, focusing on ILTF’s Estate Planning and Services Program through site visits in the Osage, Pawnee, and Kiowa Nations.

A highlight of the trip was President Howard Valandra’s July 15 visit to Oklahoma City University School of Law, where he met with Emily Eleftherakis, Executive Director of the Tribal Sovereignty Institute. ILTF and the Institute have partnered for 11 years to provide estate planning and will-writing services to Tribal landowners, with continued collaboration ahead.

Estate planning is a key tool to prevent further fractionation of Indian land and ensure it remains in Native ownership. ILTF supports this work through education and legal services for landowners. Learn more: iltf.org

We are sad to share that retired OCU Law professor Von Creel has passed away. Professor Creel joined the law school faculty in 1971 and taught until his retirement in 2011.

Professor Creel gave 40 years of his life to OCU Law and is one of the legendary figures in our school's history. He was always a student favorite, received numerous awards through the years, and co-authored the first written history of the school. Through his teaching and service to OCU Law, Professor Creel had an immeasurable impact on the lives of thousands of lawyers. He will be missed, and he will be remembered.

Our thoughts are with his family as they celebrate his life today. More on his life and legacy: https://buff.ly/Upd5AXh

At Sovereignty Symposium ###VIII, Governor Bill Anoatubby was recognized with the Symposium's "Honored One" award. Since 1988, this status has been awarded to unique individuals whose lifetime contributions to the world, the United States, the State of Oklahoma, and their personal communities are without peer. Governor Anoatubby announced his retirement in June after serving as governor of The Chickasaw Nation for nearly 40 years. His service to the Chickasaw Nation and his support of OCU Law and Sovereignty Symposium throughout those years are certainly admirable and worthy of this recognition. Thank you, Governor Anoatubby!
