my goals is Chancellor of Oakland
Community College err to continue to
forge partnerships to create excellent
programs and this is absolutely critical
so that we can be responsive to what the
future needs of employers are my typical
work day as Chancellor is inspiring I
spend most of my time talking to
students employees as well as the
community and one of the things that
I've learned is that the possibilities
to make a difference within the
community absolutely endless and Oakland
Community College we have outstanding
training facilities for example we have
our crest facility in the Auburn Hills
campus which is a miniature downtown
with traffic lights and a stop sign I we
have a hotel and a convenience store
there we do a lot of simulations and we
train almost 90% of Oakland County's
first responders there we have a
tremendous culinary facility at Orchard
Ridge and we also have a wonderful
welding lamp state-of-the-art students
get real-world training when people
think of Oakland Community College they
think of a positive force and so we're
really pleased with the new brand

not only internally here with faculty
and staff and students but also
externally with the community the one
thing that really inspires me every day
is that the possibilities are endless in
ways that Oakland Community College can
make a difference in all of their lives

you really need to consider Oakland
Community College because of our small
class sizes are empowered faculty
