Help Support the Strive for 45 Campaign

Oakland University has embarked on a bold campaign to reimagine what is possible in Michigan, to stand up for our students and higher education funding in Michigan.

Despite being one of the fastest-growing universities in the state, Oakland University ranks last in how much it is funded per student. As a state, Michigan spends more on incarcerating its citizens than it does on higher education funding.
