The Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) President’s Leadership Class recently graduated 23 students.
The President’s Leadership Class (PLC) helps develop and enhance the leadership skills and knowledge of graduating OCCC students. The course explores personal, interpersonal, organizational, and social dimensions in the greater context of leadership. The goal of the program is to develop self-aware, ethical, and principle-centered future leaders with the ability to think critically, apply a proven process for decision-making, and communicate effectively.
“The President’s Leadership Class marks OCCC’s commitment to developing the next generation of community and business leaders.†OCCC President Jerry Steward said. “I commend these exceptional students for challenging themselves and successfully completing the course.â€
