2021-2026 Strategic Plan: OCC at the Helm

A twelve-member Core Planning Team, composed of a diverse mix of college employees worked with two strategic consultants from Ellucian to develop OCC at the Helm.  This collaborative planning process included the participation of over 70 campus constituents, including faculty, staff, students, and Board members. In addition, five K-12 school districts and a major college donor participated in guided discussions to solicit input on the future of the college.  The result is a well-informed plan that will guide the College through the disruptive waters of higher education, placing Ocean County College at the Helm as it innovates for the future.
