Who We Are

The Association of Retired Personnel of Oakland Community College was formed in 1993 to provide opportunities for fellowship, assist members with retirement issues, provide opportunities for enrichment through the resources of OCC, to cooperate with other retiree organizations and to provide a volunteer source of experience and expertise for OCC. Membership is open to OCC employees whose employment status was full-time, part-time Classified, or part-time Teamsters at the time of retirement. The initial complimentary membership will not exceed 12 months. All memberships, complimentary and dues paying, expire on September 30th.
