Our Golden Anniversary year is about to draw to a close but the celebration of Oakland’s achievements, inspirational founding spirit and, in particular, the people who have given of themselves and their talents, continues. Oakland University moves into its sixth decade with the same optimism, pioneering spirit and dedication to community that defined our first 50 years. Guided by our founding motto “Seek virtue and knowledge,” inspired by the seafaring Greek hero, Ulysses, Oakland invites you to come along on this most exciting and rewarding journey.
