RSU Professor Dr. Hugh Foley Inducted into Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame

Since its establishment in 1997, the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame (OMHOF) has inducted more than 150 musical artists, songwriters, and industry figures, including icons like Merle Haggard, Tommy Allsup, Toby Keith, Vince Gill, Woody Guthrie, Gene Autry, Bob Wills, Hoyt Axton, and Carrie Underwood, among others. 

Recently, OMHOF added another distinguished inductee: Rogers State University Professor and Fine Arts and Communications Department Head Dr. Hugh Foley. 

Dr. Foley was surprised with the induction during OMHOF’s grand reopening on Sept. 26. He had initially believed he was attending the event solely to introduce the 2026 inductees.
