It only takes one person to inspire many. This Report to Investors highlights people that have inspired others to contribute to Oakland community college through the Occ Foundation. For that we thank them and gratefully acknowledge their support and leadership. www.oaklandcc.edu/Foundation The Mission of the Oakland Community College Foundation is to obtain financial support to advance the mission and goals of Oakland Community College.
letter from the Chair In 1982 I proudly walked across the stage at Western Michigan university to receive a degree in Business Administration. Or so I thought. Little did I know that Oakland community college was going to play a role in finishing this dream. Instead of receiving the official diploma in the mail, I received a letter informing me that two electives I had taken were determined to be insufficient for my degree and needed to be retaken. With no money left to pay this tuition or the housing costs of staying in Kalamazoo, I would have to drive three hours, three days a week for the next two semesters to complete these classes! Adding to my nightmare, the letter read, “The last thirty hours of any business majors classes, must be completed on campus.” I appealed this decision twice. Finally, I received a letter that there was one college with a class professor and class syllabus that WMu would approve to complete my Bachelors degree. It was Oakland community college and the classes were available at the Auburn Hills campus. Occ’s quality classes and instructors were the answer to my dilemma. Without it, I’m not sure when I would have completed my degree. As chairman of the Occ Foundation Board, I am honored to have the opportunity to give back to such a quality institution of learning. I want others to have the same positive and rewarding educational experience that I had. It is my goal to increase the Foundation’s assets during my term as chairman. All of you identified in this Report have acted to recognize those people and programs that have inspired you over the years. As you increase your support to Occ, you can inspire others to attain their dreams as well. Thank you for your loyal support. Sincerely, Lee green Chairman, OCC Foundation Board of Directors 1
