University Planning Advisory Council
The University Planning Advisory Council meets throughout the academic year to assess and priorities strategic annual objectives for the institution. The objectives are structured around seven strategic objectives which are part of the University's OBU 2020 vision. The overall vision is an outgrowth of the OBU Mission Statement: As a Christian liberal arts university, OBU transforms lives by equipping students to pursue academic excellence, integrate faith with all areas of knowledge, engage a diverse world, and live worthy of the high calling of God in Christ.
