Legacy Board
The Legacy Board is co-sponsored by the Oakland University Black Faculty Association, Oakland University Academic Affairs, and the office of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity.
The Legacy Board exhibits the profile of selected notable Black Faculty Members with many contributions to Oakland University. This would also showcase to current students, prospective students, alumni, parents, staff, faculty, stakeholders and the community, Oakland University's multicultural roots. The Legacy Board is a representation of the role black faculty members have and will continue to play in support of Oakland University's mission.
The individuals selected would be featured on the BFA website and honored at each year’s BFA Black History Month Celebration. All approved nominees, deceased and living, will be inducted on the Legacy Board at the beginning of the Academic Year.
Please view the profiles of the faculty members featured in the Legacy Board.
To highlight the contributions of Black Faculty members at OU, we depend on your interest, involvement, and nominations. Please use the nomination form to review the criteria and to make nominations.
Nominations will close on the Last Friday of November at 5PM. Late nominations will be considered for the following year. The Legacy Board Committee will meet and approve eligible nominees two weeks after the deadline.
