Office of the President
Ora Hirsch Pescovitz
President
At Oakland University, we are proud to foster a welcoming and supportive learning environment where students from all backgrounds and experiences can thrive.
Our priorities are clear and intentional: ensuring access to an affordable education, offering programs that lead to meaningful careers, advancing research that solves real-world problems, and building partnerships that make a measurable impact in our communities. It’s why The Wall Street Journal has recognized us as a great value and an engine of social mobility. And it’s why we stand as a catalyst for progress in our region and beyond.
Our 1,500-acre campus in metro Detroit connects students to both beautiful surroundings and a strong network of corporate and industry partners. These relationships open doors to internships and careers that help our graduates become the region’s talent backbone and future leaders.
I invite you to visit campus and experience our Golden Grizzlies spirit firsthand. I’m confident you’ll be inspired by what’s possible here as we prepare students to lead lives of purpose and success.
Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, M.D.
President
