Spot the Oakwood Ambassador

Oakwood University's mascot, The Ambassador, has traveled safely from Huntsville to be a part of the thousands of people who will call San Antonio their home for the next few days.

If you spot the Ambassador around the GC Session meetings, take a picture of him or a selfie with him and post on social media. Don't forget to use the hashtag #OU2GC15
