Oakland University has established a leadership award for employees named after a longtime university leader.<\/p>\n
Glenn McIntosh was senior vice president of student affairs and chief diversity officer when he died in September 2025 and was later awarded posthumous emeritus status.<\/p>\n
The \u201cPassion, Purpose and Perseverance\u201d award recognizes OU employees who demonstrate exceptional leadership in advancing student success, strengthening the campus community, and embodying the compassionate, principled leadership exemplified by McIntosh.<\/p>\n
He served as a Project Upward Bound instructor and as founding director of the Center for Multicultural Initiatives (formerly the office of equity). He created the Oakland University Trustee Academic Success program, which continues to earn national recognition for its retention and graduation rates of underrepresented students.<\/p>\n
McIntosh also created the Veterans Support Services Office and the Gender and Sexuality Center and established two scholarships for OU\u2019s annual Martin Luther King Jr.\u00a0 Keeper of the Dream Scholarship Awards, one in honor of his sister, Lisa, and the other honoring his wife, Lia.<\/p>\n
All full-time or part-time faculty and staff are eligible.<\/p>\n
Individuals may be nominated by students, colleagues, supervisors or administrators.<\/p>\n
Nominations are due by Sunday, March 15.
