I hope that participating in our Woodwind Day will give you a taste of what life is like on our campus. Come explore college life here at OWU where theory is put into practice and prepare to be inspired by all our campus has to offer.  If you are a serious student who thrives on academic challenge, works hard, and desires to excel, I hope you will come with your eyes wide open.
