Meet the Staff
At Undergraduate Admissions, we bleed black and gold. Sure, we're admissions professionals… but we're so much more than that. We pursue advanced degrees at OU, cheer our Golden Grizzlies in the stands, spearhead volunteer programs, take charge of committees, and always think of new ways to make things better. We are the warriors of recruitment and enrollment, and the ambassadors for everything OU.
Through campus tours, campus visit programs, high school and community college visits, and informational fairs, we connect with prospective students and families almost every day of the year. Admissions advisers are available to answer questions about the application process or general Oakland University information.
Questions? Call (248) 370-3360 or text (248) 712-3361 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to speak with our staff. For more detailed questions you may wish to schedule an appointment with an Admissions Adviser, which you can do by viewing our calendar or by calling (248) 370-3360.
