Oakes College Tile Program
The mission of Oakes College is to provide intellectual, academic, and personal inquiry rooted in the
possibility of effecting positive social, economic, and political change. As a multi ethnic/racial community, we attempt
to understand, accept, and celebrate diversity as a source of exceptional strength.
