Administration and Faculty
Southwestern Oregon Community College is located in the heart of Oregon’s scenic South Coast — an area known for its
miles of open public beaches, vast forests, clear lakes, fish-filled rivers, immense sand dunes, abundant wildlife, and
boundless recreational opportunities.
Visitors and residents alike enjoy camping, fishing, hunting, clamming, crabbing, beachcombing, canoeing, kayaking,
whitewater rafting, surfing, swimming, scuba diving, sailing, and sailboarding. Exploring the dunes via all-terrain vehicles
or bicycling rugged coastal mountain trails and country roads offers other kinds of adventures.
Oregon’s South Coast is also rich in culture and history, with many theatre ensembles, art galleries, libraries, and museums.
Organized sports on campus include softball, basketball, volleyball, baseball, track, soccer, and wrestling. Fitness facilities
include Southwestern’s Fitness Center, weight room, tennis courts, ball fields, and gym. North Bend and Coos Bay offer
community pools, ball fields, and tennis courts. Private facilities include those for racquetball, swimming, gymnastics,
and dance.
