OC is the only community college that participates in this annual international competition. Students across multiple disciplines design and build an off-road vehicle, then put it to the test in an endurance race.

Students at OC’s archaeological field school have uncovered 4,700 artifacts and a birthplace of Japanese American culture at the former Bainbridge Island village. Now the site is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.

OC’s groundbreaking digital filmmaking program puts professional equipment into students’ hands early in the program to prepare them to be the storytellers of tomorrow on new media platforms like Hulu and Netflix.

OC’s new professional-level gallery is a showcase for student and professional work, providing students the opportunity to learn about installing and marketing exhibits and inviting collaboration with regional arts organizations.

The weeklong event brings students, faculty, staff and community members together to learn about diversity through workshops, talks, films, and written works, encouraging the OC community to be advocates for social justice.

In 2017 and 2018, we celebrated outstanding Ranger athletes past and present, such as “Slender Sprinter” Pete Dufour, who was a champion for OC in 1949-50 and is still running at 90. In 2019, we’ll be honoring outstanding OC alums in other fields.
