Ohio Christian University (OCU) is excited to announce that it has been awarded a grant that will enable OCU to double the capacity of its Internet connection.

The grant is intended to assist with providing the tools needed to spur innovation and prepare students for the workforce.

Importance of Strategic Planning at OCU
Published: July 30, 2018
By Dr. Hank Kelly, Provost

spend more time on what is important, to spend more time on the dream than
the routine.
