I just got back from Oakwood University Alumni weekend (Class of '06!) and I am very proud of the strides and accomplishments of my Alma Mater. Below are some great things I knew/ found out over the weekend:
In no particular order...
1) Biggest enrollment ever this semester, ~1900 students!

7) New facilities completed with more on the way! (New men's dorm to open Fall 2008, BCB Institute.)
8) A turn around in fiscal support by Alumni (SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOL!)
9) The best Chemistry department of any Adventist school in America. (I'm biased, but look at the research and numbers!)

For the uninitiated among you, Oakwood University is a Liberal Arts Institution located in Huntsville, AL founded in 1896 by the Seventh Day Adventist Church at the behest of it's Prophet, Ellen G. White. Since that time it has become a premier HBCU and is nationally recognized for it's academic as well as Musical programs. Oakwood alumni are referred to as Oakwoodites, and, if you attend, it is said that you can go anywhere and meet someone who attended as well. It's a big family.
