Meet the Staff

During your time at Oakland University, you’ll experience countless opportunities and occasional challenges. You’ll learn new ways of understanding people and situations. You'll have the chance to explore topics that pique your curiosity and you may also encounter unfamiliar situations where you need help.

The Dean of Students office stands ready to support you through it all. We have a wealth of resources available to students. We'll connect you to individuals and services to support you through tough times, as well as celebrate your successes.

Please reach out to any staff member for answers to questions, support or guidance. We are here to empower you and help you achieve your best.
