Celebrating Our Diverse Community
Ocean County College celebrates the rich tapestry of our diverse community through year-round commemorations of national heritage months, days, and cultural acknowledgments. These observances offer opportunities to explore the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of various identities, amplifying underrepresented voices and fostering a deeper understanding of these groups’ contributions to American society. Through educational programs and events, we aim to illuminate the histories and experiences of these communities, promoting a more inclusive and informed campus environment.
