Be Golden

Be Golden. It’s the OU rallying cry that resonates beyond campus. At Oakland University, it’s at the core of who we are. It’s the standard of excellence for which we strive. It’s an attitude, an approach, a way of thinking and doing things that is distinctively OU.

What does it mean to be golden? Whether it’s students, staff, faculty or alumni, we set the bar high and never quit. We believe in ourselves. We kick convention to the curb with new perspectives and unique approaches. We ignite our spark to set the world aflame.

The Be Golden campaign celebrates our shining accomplishments. We strive to incorporate a “golden tone” in OU’s storytelling and marketing to proudly highlight who we are. Our achievements, our paths, our talents and our diversity come together to burnish OU’s reputation - because when OU shines, we all do.

By Being Golden, we proudly proclaim:

Our standing as a powerhouse

OU is a regional powerhouse with a nearly $1 billion economic footprint. In fact, 96% of employed graduates are employed in Michigan. We drive regional success by connecting Michigan businesses through internship opportunities as well as corporate and community partnerships.

Our connection to the community

OU enriches and empowers the region. Located in the epicenter of Greater Metro Detroit, we are a tremendous asset to the community through research centers and service learning opportunities.

Our immersive learning opportunities

OU shines with relevant and experiential learning experiences across almost 300 diverse programs and degrees. With a 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio, we provide personalized instruction with innovative and hands-on opportunities.

Our pride in being best in class

OU prides itself in ranking at the top among competitors for value, pride, support, success, preparation and location, year after year. We'll be adding examples, links and content going forward.
