However, Oakwood is eligible to win in the $25,000 campus pride category, which will allow the University to re-seed the softball and soccer fields as well as install sprinkler systems. 

A representative from The Home Depot was interviewed on the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show on March 27. She said, in terms of social media, Oakwood University and Howard University are in close competition for the number one spot!

Tom Joyner said, "Oakwood University? They only have 50 students." The representative said, "They won last year. They're a Seventh-day Adventist school, and they're using their network. They're a force to be reckoned with."

They might be thinking we can't do this, because yes, Oakwood is one of the smaller universities in the competition. However, they don't know the power of Oakwood worldwide network of alumni, friends and supporters. Oakwood is the only Seventh-day Adventist institution in the competition.
