“Welcome Week is an all-encompassing opportunity to ‘show off’ Oakland University, as well as its many resources and services, to new students and welcome back returning students,” said Jean Ann Miller, senior director of the Office for Student Involvement. “It reflects OU’s embracing spirit and reaffirms this is the right choice and the right time to be a Golden Grizzly!”
