Feature Friday Series
Before the start of the fall 24’ semester, President Dempsey had introduced a new concept to the OCU Community called Feature Fridays. Fridays at Oakland City University are no longer a day packed full of classes, but rather a day for personal instruction, community service, and other forms of enrichment.

Mr. David Chin: Government Official and Entrepreneur speaks on stage with OCU President Ron Dempsey.
Over the last Several Fridays, the OCU community has witnessed messages from many regional voices in Business leadership and other areas of expertise.
