Oakwood University has a powerful and lasting mission of quality Christian education. The university is built on the labor and dreams of its pioneers, who gave their educational and administrative talents to the school with little thought of reward and recognition. The beautiful and spacious campus of today is a testament to its past history.
In 2000, the administration and Board of Trustees of Oakwood University took historic steps to allow a permanent revisiting of this history through the Historical Marker Project, in which 17 bronze plates commemorate events and sites of significance to the university and its friends and alumni. It is hoped that this series of markers will inspire, motivate, and help keep alive a sense of history at Oakwood as the university enters it second century. The goal of the Historical Markers Project is to keep everyone aware of the presence of history.
