- History & Memorable Moments
Oakland University was created in 1957 when Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of automobile magnate John Francis Dodge, and her second husband Alfred Wilson donated their 1,500-acre (6.1 km²) estate to Michigan State University, including Meadow Brook Hall, Sunset Terrace and all the estate's other buildings and collections, along with $2 million. Originally known as Michigan State University-Oakland, the university enrolled its first students in 1959 and was renamed Oakland University in 1963. The university has been officially independent since 1970. As of Fall 2007, more than 18,000 students were enrolled at OU. The current president of the university is Dr. Gary Russi, who replaced Dr. Sandra Packard on an interim basis in 1995, and was appointed president by the Board of Trustees in 1996. [1]
