Participate

We have a mix of fundraising and experiential events you can get involved with.

RIDE THE TRAIN! Celebrate Owens CC’s 2022-23 OCCAC All-Sports Award and join the excitement by cheering on your favorite Express team from the variety of athletic programs available – Men’s Baseball and Basketball, Women’s Softball, Basketball, Volleyball, and returning in the 2023 season: SOCCER!!

Help bring awareness of different perspectives through books and accompanying activities on campus and in our surrounding communities by joining The BIG Read book club, participating in on and off campus events, attending the author speaking event, and offering community literacy outreach.

Join us as we watch and discuss films and visit the Library’s display of books with the same theme. Gather a small group to compete in the Film Challenge in which participating teams are given 48 hours to create short films; Fall and Spring semester filming opportunities are offered. Stay tuned for links to vote for the People’s Choice Award which will be selected via online voting following the spring filming dates.

Submit a creative work to The Silo, the journal for OCC students and alumni; submissions are due September 29, 2023 for inclusion in the 3^rd edition scheduled for publication in Spring 2024.

Utilize services, connect with prospective employers or employees, or volunteer your expertise: virtual workshops, career exploration, targeted Job Fairs and free Job Board, mock interviewing, internships – Career & Transfer Services offers something for everyone at all stages of any career field!

Join in building community at Owens by identifying needs and working together toward solutions through The Harvest Project’s community garden and apiary events, service opportunities, Action and Resource Fairs, or donation drives for the Food Panty, Career Closet, or Student Emergency Fund. Consider utilizing the well-equipped community multi-purpose room for your next hands-on volunteer project or to share information with the Owens community about your organization.
