AltaGracia college apparel
New this fall semester to universities locally and nationally, including OU, is a clothing brand of college T-shirts and sweatshirts by Knights Apparel, produced in AltaGracia.
AltaGracia, the name of the clothing brand, is also the location in the Dominican Republic where its employees have been guaranteed a sustainable standard of living to raise families from poverty.
OU’s campus bookstore began carrying AltaGracia college apparel at the beginning of August.
Attached to all AltaGracia merchandise is a tag including the story of a factory worker and how Knights Apparel has changed their life.

Campus tours on mobile phones
As an alternative to live campus visits, Oakland University is now offering a walking audio tour via mobile devices.
The self-guided audio tours can be accessed through a mobile friendly website or calling 248-464-6066. By calling the number, students will walk themselves to major buildings and landmarks while dialing the corresponding numbers at each location.
A printable map outlines the stops and guides the student through the circular tour.
For phones with web access, users can track locations via GPS coordinates and view photos at each stop.
Links to the audio website and map can be found at www.oakland.edu/audiotour.
