FACULTY THAT CARE ABOUT YOU
PROFESSIONALLY
PERSONALLY
All of the faculty within the Wimberly School of Religion have had an impact on me, though none greater than the impact that Dr. Leslie Long has had. Dr. Long’s leadership as a female in ministry and her compassion for all of God’s children has changed my life forever. My own call to ministry will never be the same because it crossed paths

TALENT AWARDS Talent and athletic awards are both available at OCU. Students who are admitted to the Wanda L.
