Oakland University Athletics

"Learn. Serve. Lead." Our message is simple. Its impact is endless. 

Oakland University Student-Athlete Services staff focuses on the holistic development of our 350+ student-athletes, including their transition from high school to college, academic success, personal development, leadership enhancement, career readiness, and transition from college to life after sports. 
 
Through one-on-one and group meetings with learning specialists, academic advisors, and student-athlete development specialists, we meet student-athletes where they are, challenge them to see and reach their potential, and support their pursuit of excellence in academics, athletics, and life.
