I believe an OCC graduate comes with a different skillset.
I believe that what I've seen from OCC graduates that they're prepared that they've been professional.
Think OCC it's a great organization that provides wonderful opportunities to the students in our region.
I think OCC is a gem. I think it's a something that I've found the student is coming to me who has tried a little bit harder.
I think and it has digs a little bit deeper.
The students here have received you know an excellent education. They're ready. They're capable. They're hungry.
I feel like the teachers and the instructors there had real-world
experience and they went out you know and and had the jobs you know and did what they were doing and in my case with
graphic design
you know they were working in the real world and would bring those lessons back to you and teach you and put you in a
position to succeed.
The things that my students really get excited about is, okay. This is what the textbook says we've learned the textbook now.
I'm gonna tell you what I've learned in the business. You really have to know
what's going on in the real world?
I think the students that are coming out that are being hired into the industry are going to be surprising a lot of Industry
creative directors.
And I think words gonna get out very quickly
about the type and caliber of student that the school produces.
Working with the faculty and students in a college of that high quality I think allows for
amazing opportunities.
And it's really up to us to see how can we leverage both institutions for the benefit of the community.
The quality of graduates at OCC is exemplary
I searched many different areas logging hard long and far
and we were lucky enough to find a narrow backyard.
My education and the things you know that my professors have taught me have taken me to places that I would have never dreamed.
I just love working with the school and I love working with enthusiastic students that you produce.
I'm really excited that employers are constantly calling my phone looking for more of them.
