Kiana Garrison

“OCC has one of the largest robotic labs, allowing me to have more real-world opportunities.”
Dale Close

“Walking across that stage, shaking hands with all the people who helped me along
the way, it’s going to feel like a culmination of everything – the support, the effort
and knowing a whole new chapter is starting right after this.”
Alissa Skonieczny
Associate in General Studies
“If you take a class now and can’t take another for three years—or if it takes you
27 years to get your degree like I did—that’s OK. You can always finish.”
Crystal Crittenden
Associate in Arts
“I want to hold a torch and just tell everybody behind me, come on, come on. Some
people think college is going to be so hard, but there’s always going to be someone
there to help.”
