As a student here at OCU, I can say that I absolutely love it in the spring and summer months!  Since our campus is small, I am able to walk around all of it and just enjoy the nice weather.  There are several benches placed all over the grounds and I really like to just sit outside on them and study or relax.  The campus just comes to life during these months.  People are always out and about, and you can easily find things to do.  I know a lot of kids play a game called flickerball.  I’ve never played, but I always heard it is a lot of fun.  My roommate and I would take a blanket and watch movies on our laptops in the grass at night..it was kind of a make shift drive-in J.  Something I really like to do is to walk around campus with my roommates.  We act silly and it’s just a fun way for us to unwind (plus it is great exercise - especially since I have gained what everyone likes to call the “freshman 15” LOL). So,basically, some of the most memorable times for me in college have been in the summer and spring, and I hope the weather continues to stay warm!

I’ve always loved the expression, “April showers bring May flowers.” It gives us hope that great things are just around the corner. God’s promises are never-ending and he has great things in store for all of us – not just in the month of May, but for our lifetime! Whether you are a senior getting ready to graduate from college, or a senior getting ready to graduate from high school, God has BIG plans for your future!

We’ve been busy, busy, busy here in the Admissions Office helping students of all kinds prepare for the future. My April calendar is busting at the seams as we gear up for graduation (both college and high school) in May and summer break. We are working hard to bring in a whole new class of freshman as we sadly prepare to say goodbye to some of our beloved seniors. This will be a bittersweet month for many of us.

Speaking of busy, I’m off to do another campus tour! If you’re like me and feeling a little gloomy because of the weather, just remember the saying above and know that God will get us through this!

Hello Everyone,

The Admissions Blog is now live!  The Blog will be used by the Admissions office to convey information to prospective students about Oakland City University.  Hopefully, in the coming days ahead, you will hear from different faculty, staff, and even our Student Ambassador group.

Th Admissions Blog is an addition to the Admissions Message Board already on our website.  Just an FYI, the Admissions Office is also working on live chat.  The details are still being determined, but it is our hope to have a chat, at least once a week, with prospective students.  Stay tuned to this blog for further updates in that area.

God Bless,

Brian Baker
