History

Oakland University's leadership first investigated the feasability of a capital campaign in 1982, when a fundraising consultant was commissioned. The campaign was officially launched in fall 1984 on the occasion of the university's 25th birthday, and continued into the late 1980s. Another capital campaign was later conducted between 2005 and 2009 and a third one started in 2018.
