“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (KJV). God has blessed Oakwood University in ways beyond measure. Let us continue to work together as a family and partners with Christ, and you’ll be amazed at what God can accomplish through us.

Harvey S. Firestone sums up perfectly the motto and the focus of the Alumni Relations department: “It is only as we develop others that we permanently succeed.”

Please continue to pray for, and support, the Alumni Relations Office and Oakwood University.

God Bless,

Barbara Stovall, MBA
