People are essential to the mission of the OCC Foundation...
Dennis and Susan Fiems worked at Oakland Community College for a combined total of 52 years. Together, they served the College
community in a variety of ways. Following Susan’s death in July 2008, Dennis established the Susan and Dennis Fiems Endowed Scholarship for Textbooks to commemorate and honor their shared passion and love of books and their desire to help others. He wants Susan to be remembered
for “infusing life, light and joy into the lives of all with whom she came in contact. She was an enduring, generous spirit illuminating
any corner shadowed by difficulty.” To date, the scholarship has been fully endowed and will recognize and encourage scholastic
achievement and progress by providing financial assistance to OCC students.
We thank Mr. Fiems and all our scholarship donors for their generosity and commitment to our students.
“Your scholarship means a great deal to me and I am very honored to have been chosen as the recipient.”
Shawn Cane,
scholarship recipient
