Rob HoskinsThe Oral Roberts University (ORU) Board of Trustees unanimously elected Robert Hoskins board chair. Hoskins is stepping into this role that was filled by Mart Green since the new board was founded six years ago. Green will remain on the board as vice chair.

“I am thrilled for the opportunity to serve the Board and the University as we continue to build Spirit-empowered leaders that will impact the world with the hope of Jesus Christ,” said Hoskins. “Mart Green’s leadership was instrumental in establishing a dynamic and hard-working Board of Trustees that changed the course of this institution. The board is deeply grateful for Mart Green and his tireless service to ORU. We are committed to carrying on this tradition of excellence in governance.”

“I commend the Board for choosing Rob Hoskins as the next board chair for this world-renowned university,” said ORU President William M. Wilson. “Rob, who successfully leads a very substantial and effective global ministry, has a deep understanding of the opportunities for the globalization of ORU into the future. I look forward to working with Rob and the entire Board of Trustees as we dream about how we can equip students around the world in the 21st century."

Hoskins is currently President and CEO of OneHope, a global ministry committed to engaging every child in the world with God's Word. OneHope has already reached more than a billion children and youth in more than 140 nations and in 100+ languages.
