Student Life

settings

Your time at OFTC isn’t just about taking classes. All the living and learning you do outside of the classroom is a big part of your college experience, too.

Student Life includes service, leadership, friendships, and that hard-to-define essence that makes college more than a collection of classes or buildings. It can also just mean fun! OFTC offers a wide range of events each semester to engage students, offer leadership opportunities, and encourage you to let loose with some fellowship and fun!

A group of six smiling women pose together indoors. They are holding drinks and standing near a doorway labeled KATIE SMITH P LIBRARY. The women are wearing casual clothing including a colorful floral dress and a green graphic t-shirt.
Three smiling women stand indoors holding handwritten Thank You for your Service letters decorated with stars and stripes, likely for veterans or service members. A table with snacks and drinks is visible in the background.
