The Division of Student Life and Mission recognizes that students at Oakwood University (OU) are our highest priority; therefore, we welcome your unique strengths, talents, contributions, and ideas. We are eager for each OU student to experience the mighty power of God that shape their lives. At Student Life and mission, we desire to enhance your OU experience by working closely with faculty and staff to support your academic maturation and growth as a person.
