The Summer/Fall 2026 issue of Ocean Views celebrates “Success Stories That Started Here,” highlighting the many ways Ocean County College helps students find their path. Inside, you’ll meet alumni Mary-Claire Capp, who returned to college at age 50, and Dr. Christine Depre, whose experience at OCC transformed her life and led to a career in criminal justice. We also spotlight students beginning their own success stories, including our outstanding Social Work cohort, our Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship semifinalists, and, of course, the Class of 2026! Plus, learn about alumna Tiffany deSousa’s inspiring community work, hear from multiple Grammy Award winner Ricky Riccardi, and celebrate the latest accomplishments of OCC’s faculty and staff.
