Dr. Bob Ona is a living example of an Oxford Graduate School World Changer.

Dr. Bob Ona (DPhil, '07) and Dr. Basil Jackson (faculty member) continue to receive national media attention for their sacrificial work in the earthquake ravaged nation of Haiti.  Their service represents the strong social commitment of Oxford Graduate School:

On January 25, 2010, NBC Nightly News featured a story about Dr. Basil Jackson's medical and psychiatric work among victims of the earthquake in Haiti.  Dr. Jackson is a distinguished member of the Oxford Graduate School faculty, having served Oxford Graduate School faithfully for nearly 30 years.  Dr. Jackson is also the Chair of the Oxford Society of Scholars.

The Oxford link in your possession is the tangible reminder of our constant contact with the members of the OGS family.  The link’s intent is to prompt us to pray for the school and one another.  This email is a request for prayer for the country of Haiti and the relief efforts from around the world.  Bob Ona (DPhil, 2007) is scheduled to leave for Haiti on Tuesday, January 19.  Please pray for safety and Christian impact for his team.  Many members of our family are from the Carribean area. Please remember them as so many have been affected by this disaster.
