”One of my favorite parts about OBU is the city God has placed it in. Having lived in Tulsa my whole life, moving to Shawnee was a big change. However, over the last 4 years I have learned the importance of pouring into my community. Through a few different local nonprofit organizations and especially through my local church’s youth ministry, I’ve better grasped the importance of serving and loving my neighbor. I truly believe that in college, God calls us to build relationships beyond just the ones that can be made on campus.” #bisonspotlight . .
