Dear Fellow Alumni,
It has been several years since I was first honored to join the Board of Directors for the Oakland
University Alumni Association. During this time, I’ve seen pride and generosity emerge among my
fellow alumni through contributions that have had an ever-increasing and beneficial impact on
students, outreach and recognition for our university.
In July 2011, the alumni association reached a significant milestone by extending membership to
all alumni. As a graduate of OU, you now automatically qualify to receive the benefits available
through the association without membership fees. We hope that this change will encourage you
to participate in the life of the university in a way that is meaningful for you.
Together, alumni make a difference by joining fellow alumni at events that support scholarships
and programs, volunteering their time, making a gift, advocating for OU, mentoring OU students,
and sharing their OU pride. One of the most important things we can continue is to support
scholarships and provide opportunities that help to ensure the success of the next generation
of OU graduates.
If you haven’t been to campus recently I encourage you to visit. The university has had remarkable
growth that would not be possible without alumni engagement, interest and support. Thank you
for all that you do — you are living, breathing examples of the transformation and opportunity
made possible by an Oakland University education.
Best regards,
Lynn Gross |
OUAA Board of Directors
