Welcome by the Dean of Students
Welcome to Orange Coast College! You are an official Pirate!
Orange Coast College (OCC) is more than just a campus; it is a vibrant community of learners who value education, are dedicated to your academic success, and committed to ensuring your college completion. We are thrilled that you have chosen to join our community and take the first step toward achieving your goals.
As your Dean of Students, I am here to ensure your experience at OCC is meaningful and rewarding. We are proud to offer a wide range of programs, activities, events, and resources designed to help you succeed academically, personally, and professionally. Whether you're looking to join a club, participate in leadership opportunities, attend engaging events, or access vital support services, OCC has something for everyone.
College is more than just attending classes- it's about making connections, exploring new interests, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and take full advantage of what OCC has to offer. Meet your professors, get involved on campus, and connect with fellow Pirates who share your passions and goals.
Likewise, I am committed to being a resource and conduit for you, helping you navigate the college experience and ensuring you feel connected to our wonderful campus community. My office and staff are here to support you every step of the way.
I wish you the best as you navigate your way through campus. Whether you are transferring to a 4-year college or university, obtaining a certificate, or enrolling in courses for self-improvement, I extend a warm welcome to you in support of your educational journey.
