HALL OF FAME

The OACC Hall of Fame was started in 2011. Since its inception 30 individuals have been selected. This illustrious group includes a current and former Governor, Supreme Court ChiefJustice, former Chancellor of Higher Education System, College Presidents, and several distinguished educators. These are men and women of extraordinary talent, vision and leadership, who not only shaped our state, but established a living legacy which will enrich the lives of future generations.
