As a result, Oakwood ranks fifth nationally among the producers of African Americans attending medical school. The Ambassadors Men’s Basketball team touts four USCAA Division I championships and a coach who focuses on perfecting one’s character above perfecting one’s shot.  The Honda Campus All-Star Challenge team has brought home three championships in this annual academic competition and one best coach award. Under the direction of the Conductor of the World, The Aeolians won three gold medals at the 2018 World Choir Games. Their artistry harnesses the power of music to testify of God’s love to thousands around the globe.
