Of all the colleges and universities Judith LaManna Rivette attended, one stands above the rest. "OCC was the best college experience out of anywhere I went," said Rivette, a 1969 graduate of Onondaga Community College.

Most high school graduates receive one diploma. This spring, 46 Central New York students received two. Through Onondaga Community College's early college programs, students earned associate degrees from OCC while simultaneously completing their high school diplomas, giving them a significant head start on their academic and career goals.

For more than six decades, Onondaga Community College has been woven into the story of Halyna and Victor Lisnyczyj (pronounced lis-NITCH-ee).
For Halyna, OCC opened the door to a career she once thought might be out of reach. For Victor, it became the place where he built a 22-year career, launched innovative academic programs, and inspired generations of students. Together, the couple has spent years giving back to the institution that helped shape their lives, supporting scholarships and creating opportunities for future students.

Onondaga Community College welcomed 174 students into the P-TECH program during a signing ceremony held June 4 in the Gordon Student Center Great Room. P-TECH stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School. The program provides high school students the opportunity to work toward their high school diploma and an associate degree simultaneously, and ultimately, a pathway to an in-demand job.
The creativity of Onondaga Community College faculty and staff is on full display in this year's On My Own Time art exhibit.
A reception honoring participating artists was held June 3 in Coulter Hall, where paintings, photographs, drawings, and other works are currently showcased in the lobby outside Room C116. The exhibit will remain on display through June 12, giving the campus community an opportunity to experience the diverse artistic talents of OCC employees.
When Maria (DiCocco) Donnelly thinks about how her family’s college journey began, she still laughs at the words her mother used whenever motivation was needed:
“I will carry you to class and sit on your lap if I have to.”
The message was clear. College mattered.
