Dr. Bill R. Path

Dr. Bill R. Path was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas but spent most of his childhood moving from state to state because of his father's career. Bill says, "Traveling in my youth taught me many valuable lessons about observing human behavior and learning how to adjust to almost any given situation. It taught me that there are good people everywhere you go, if you are willing to look for them."

Dr. Path received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, a Master of Science degree in Educational Psychology and Counseling from Texas A&M University in College Station, and his Doctor of Education degree in Higher Education Administration from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.

Dr. Path is currently the president of Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology in Okmulgee, Oklahoma (since 2011). Path previously served as president of Northeast Community College in Norfolk, Nebraska (since 2001). In addition to being an educator, he is also a philosopher, counselor, writer, and public speaker. Dr. Path has spent most of his career guiding, counseling, and advising people who struggled to find their direction in life. Dr. Path's belief that, "there is real goodness in every person and something of value to be shared," moved him to write his debut book, "Moments of Forever", a Rising Star and Editor's Choice winner.
