A commissioned life-sized, bronze statue of Oakland University (OU) founder Matilda Dodge Wilson near the walkway between the Oakland Center and South Foundation Hall at Oakland University. Sculpted by artist and sculptor, Lou Cella, the University wanted to portray Matilda as true-to-life as possible and thanks to all the alumni feedback and photos provided by Meadow Brook Hall, she’s accurately portrayed from her height, to her clothing, to her signature pearl necklace.
