OU and CCF Announce Partnership

In an exciting collaboration aimed at fostering the next generation of educators, Oakland University and the Chaldean Community Foundation have joined forces to inspire and support students in pursuing careers in education. This innovative partnership not only underscores the shared commitment of both institutions to academic excellence, but also seeks to address the growing need for passionate and diverse individuals to lead the way in shaping the future of education.

As we navigate an ever-evolving educational landscape, the demand for dedicated and culturally aware educators has never been more pronounced. Recognizing this imperative, Oakland University and the Chaldean Community Foundation have set out on a mission to empower students, particularly those from the Chaldean community, to explore and embark on fulfilling careers in education.

This collaborative initiative starts with an advisory council made up of Oakland University staff and alumni along with Chaldean Community Foundation staff. The purpose of the council is to develop outreach for assisting perspective student with filling out forms for admission and financial aid and developing pathways for students to become educators, among other goals.
