Art Griggs retires but hes not gone

Abstract

While it was cold outside on Thursday, Jan. 24, the Oakland Center Banquet Room was filled with warm wishes for Art Griggs on his retirement. A 30-year employee of the university, Griggs is officially retiring but will serve as a consultant for the Academic Affairs Office. Griggs’ association with Oakland University began before he was old enough to attend the university. His brother was a student and Griggs would come to campus to visit him. Eventually he joined his brother as a student and graduated from OU with a bachelor’s degree in biology.
