Mission:

OCCC provides broad access to learning that empowers students to complete a certificate or degree and that enriches the lives of everyone in our community.

Access: Our community has broad and equitable access to both highly valued certificate and degree programs and non-credit educational opportunities and events.

College Readiness: Our students develop skills and knowledge required to succeed in college.

Student Success: Our students successfully complete their academic courses, persist in college, and earn certificates or degrees at OCCC or another institution.

Graduate Success: Our graduates go on to earn higher-level degrees or are successful in technical or professional careers.

Community Development: Our community's quality of life is enriched through our educational, artistic and recreational programs and events.

Our Mission Statement describes why we exist and what we do. Traditionally, community colleges have been about providing access. But, it's not enough that students pass through our doors - earning a certificate or degree is what changes lives.

Values:

Students: Fundamental to all that we do

Safety: Safe and secure environment for everyone

Accountability: Use of evidence to measure performance and to make decisions

Stewardship: Wise and efficient use of resources

Integrity: Honest, ethical, and respectful to all

Innovation: Creative and forward thinking

Diversity: Embrace and appreciate the value of differences
