Oklahoma Baptist University proudly announces the induction of Dr. Juanita Franklin Johnson into the OBU Faculty Hall of Fame. The prestigious ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m., October 20 at the Cargill Alumni Center back yard on the OBU campus in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Johnson, an esteemed alumna of OBU and the first Black inductee, has dedicated her life to the field of nursing, education, and community service. Her journey with OBU began in 1967 when she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the university.

She became a Registered Nurse in the State of Oklahoma in 1986, marking the beginning of a remarkable career. Johnson's association with OBU was transformative. She served as an associate professor of nursing from 1986 until her retirement in 2003 after which she was awarded the esteemed title of professor emeritus.
