ROCHESTER, Mich. -- Oakland University Athletics has announced the 2021 Impact Award recipients, recognizing faculty and staff across campus who have positively impacted OU student-athletes.

"Each year, Oakland University student-athletes and staff recognize those across campus who've intentionally invested in our student-athletes' academic, personal, and professional success. Through this annual event, we want to truly thank and honor those who've impacted our student-athletes and athletic department, those who've created light-bulb moments for learning, and those who've inspired our student-athletes to be as successful outside of sports as they are inside of sports."
