Alumni aligned

For the first time in Orange Coast College’s 57-year history, a

booster club has been created on campus for athletics.

Coast’s Physical Education and Athletics Division has established

The Coast Athletic Alumni Club.

Not only will the organization raise funds to support OCC athletic

programs, it will also provide a network for former athletes, promote

and publicize OCC athletic events and results, solicit fan support

for contests, develop a mentoring and internship program for current

athletes and recruit speakers for campus classes and activities.

OCC wants to know about its alumni so the school can better market

its athletic program by highlighting the successes of former Coast

athletes. This will encourage future student recruits to come to

Coast to compete for its teams.

The athletic department has compiled data on OCC student athletes

dating back to 1999, but would like to go further back in history.

Former Pirate athletes, or friends and relatives of athletes are

encouraged to contact OCC’s athletic director Barbara Bond on campus,

or by e-mail at [email protected].

OCC’s athletic teams have won 76 state championships over the last

57 years.
