Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature Foundation

Without Governor Nigh and his steadfast commitment to investing time and resources in Oklahoma’s youth, the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature and certainly its Foundation would not be here with the over 50 year legacy of providing a beneficial educational experience with Oklahoma State Government.

Rest in Peace Governor, and we certainly will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Let us honor the legacy by being that exclamation point in Oklahoma!

Former Oklahoma Governor George Nigh, known for his decades of bipartisan public service and leadership, has died at age 98.
