OCC Earns National Recognition for Its Commitment to Sustainability

OCC’s commitment to sustainability has earned the College nationwide recognition and inclusion on several 2016 “best of” lists including:

The 2016 Princeton Review’s Guide to 361 Green Colleges.
Sierra Club’s 2016 Cool School Rankings.
2016 Sustainable Campus Index
which is compiled by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.

“It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized nationally for our commitment to sustainability. OCC has made excellent progress toward our goals related to integrating sustainability throughout campus operations and providing sustainability-focused learning opportunities for students. We’re proud to be making a difference in the lives of students both today and for generations to come,” said Sean Vormwald, LEED AP BD+C, OCC’s Director of Sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety.
