College isn't just a space for post-secondary students.
Okanagan College (OC) invites the community to check out what the Penticton, Vernon and Kelowna campuses have to offer.
A new series of Doors Open at OC events is underway following student-focused Open Houses.
Check out the Penticton campus at 583 Duncan Ave., West Tuesday, March 11 from 3-6 p.m.
Visit the Vernon campus at 7000 College Way Thursday, March 13 fro, 3-6 p.m.
Kelowna's campus is open at 1000 KLO April 8 from, 3-6 p.m.
These events are designed to welcome everyone — from alumni and families to local businesses and curious community members — offering a behind-the-scenes look at OC’s campuses, programs, and learning spaces.
“At OC, we believe that education should be accessible, welcoming and supportive for every learner, no matter their pathway,” said Alison Gibson, dean of community engagement and careers. “These events are a way for us to connect with our communities and show that OC is a place where everyone is welcome.”
The events follow the launch of Doors Open at OC in Salmon Arm earlier this year.
At each Doors Open at OC event, attendees can:
- Meet OC’s leadership team and learn about the College’s vision and impact.
- Tour the campus, including unique learning places, new student housing, and key points of pride.
- Learn about OC’s programs, including new offerings, flexible learning options and Work-Integrated learning.
- Find out about Camp OC, interactive summer camps designed for kids in grades 1 to 12.
- Enter to win tuition vouchers for OC’s InspirED (Continuing Studies and Corporate Training) programs and short courses.
There will be light refreshments, giveaways and plenty of opportunities to connect with OC staff and students.
“While Open Houses support future learners through their post-secondary options, Doors Open at OC is about inviting the broader community to our campuses, building community connections, and sharing the many ways OC contributes to the region,” said Gibson.
Whether exploring new career opportunities, reconnecting as an alum, or simply curious about what happens on campus, everyone is welcome to discover OC.
