Ohlone Community College District President's Office

Welcome Message

The 2007-2008 academic year is significant for Ohlone College.

In January 2008, the Center for Health Sciences and Technology will open in Newark. This marks the completion of one and a half years of construction, five years of planning, and more than two decades of dreaming to build a center in Newark that will serve students in the north end of the Ohlone College district.

As the first "green" community college campus in the nation, the Newark campus will operate as a healthy, sustainable environment designed to enhance learning while preserving natural resources. The Center emphasizes professional and technical programs in science, health, environmental studies, and emerging technologies. Instruction equipment installed in the laboratories and classrooms include the latest developments in computers, media and educational technology, allowing Ohlone to serve the needs of all learners.

As the Newark campus comes online, the Fremont campus will also undergo changes and improvements. By mid-year, we will begin building a new Student Support Services Center at the south entrance to the campus. Buildings, classrooms, and furnishings are being upgraded, new technology is being installed, and Ohlone's landmark, cross-campus waterway will once again flow through the campus.

As Ohlone continues to grow and improve, we continue to offer the finest opportunities for higher education for our students. We invite you to join us and benefit as nearly one-quarter of a million former students have benefited since we opened 40 years ago in 1967. At Ohlone, we rate our success by how well we meet the needs of our students and help them to succeed. I wish you every good success in your education at Ohlone.

Ohlone College...A World of Cultures United in Learning.
