2022 is an important year for the OCCC Alumni Association. President Jones participated in our April Board meeting and showed her support for the Alumni Association, and shared her vision for OCCC. The Board of Directors were all encouraged by her enthusiasm.
In April, we hosted our first outing at the OKC Dodgers. There were 95 people, including our alumni and their family and friends who came to the ballpark and had a fun night with us. In May, we had a meetup event at Pub W, and 10% of the total purchase that evening was donated to the Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship Fund. With these two events, we raised approximately $600 for the scholarship fund.
We have more events coming up for the rest of the year. On June 25, we will be having another baseball outing, and President Jones is invited to throw the first pitch of the night. July 20, we are hosting an ice cream bar at the General Dining Area in the Main Building on the OCCC campus. August 3, our Annual Board meeting will take place at LIB 407 on the 4th floor of the Keith Leftwich Memorial Library. October 11, we are bringing the Alumni Hall of Fame banquet back in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of OCCC.
Last but not least, the Alumni Campaign 2022 aims to raise scholarship funds and resources for students at OCCC. This campaign helps to bring our community together, and strengthen the influence of OCCC alumni. Please join the campaign and build our community!
