Get a LIFE!

“Whaddya mean, ‘Get a LIFE?!’” you’re bound to ask, “Where would I put it?”  You’re taking five classes, working evenings and many weekends, volunteering at the hospital and, somewhere in there, spending time with your family.  Still, there’s those Tuesday afternoons between Comp I and Spanish, and it’s always good to unwind on Fridays…

At OCC, we recognize our students balance complicated schedules that include not only classes, but also jobs, families and a variety of off-campus activities.  We also know that learning doesn't end when you leave class, and that engaged students are successful students--in the classroom, on the job, and out in the community. 

So we invite you to "Get a LIFE!" and participate, as much as you like, and as often as you have the time to, in college activities, events and organizations that suit your needs and fit your schedule.  Play a sport, join a club, see a play, develop your leadership skills, serve your community.  Discover what's right for you at OCC.
