Ohio Association Of Community CLLG

The Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing Ohio's community colleges through advocacy, policy, and professional development. Our mission is to support the success of the more than 300,000 community college students in Ohio by providing leadership, resources, and advocacy for our member institutions.

Our History

The OACC has a rich history dating back to the 1970s, when the first community colleges in Ohio were established. Over the years, the organization has evolved to meet the changing needs of the community college system, merging with various groups and organizations to form the OACC we know today. On May 15, 1993, the OACC was officially established, bringing together the Ohio Technical and Community College Association (OTCCA) and the Ohio Association of Two Year College Trustees (OATYCT). Today, the OACC is a robust organization committed to ensuring the continued prosperity and success of Ohio's community colleges and their students.
