STEM Areas of Interest Workshops
STEM Areas of Interest workshops starting next week on Wednesday, September 22nd from 3pm-4:30pm.
The Areas of Interest workshops are based on the 8 Areas of Interest clusters of study that Oxnard College has to offer. We will discuss the fields of study in those areas of interest, skills learned in the courses, the career possibilities, the personality types that typically come with those careers based on the Holland Code theory, and much more. If a student asks, “What can I do with a (blank) degree?”, or is not sure about their major, we discuss that in these workshops. Link to register: https://linktr.ee/occareercenter
Professor James Danza will be presenting on that day and at the October and November dates we have for the STEM AOI workshops. These are the other dates we have for the rest of the semester:
Monday, October 18th, 2021 from 10am-11:30am
Tuesday, November 30th, 2021 from 12pm-1:30pm

OC Chemistry Club First General Meeting of Fall 21
2021-22 President’s Leadership Forum
There are still several openings for students in the 2021-22 President’s Leadership Forum. The PLF is a unique venue for students to meet bi-weekly with OC President Sanchez as they study extraordinary leaders together, culminating in a letter of recommendation that is often helpful for transfer and career purposes. Perhaps more importantly, participating students tend to form long-lasting bonds with other future leaders as they develop their own networks of support and influence. Last year’s PLF cohort included a student who was accepted to Stanford University with a Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship, and quite a few PLF participants are accepted for transfer to their first-choice universities.
NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) is an agencywide STEM engagement activity for community college students to engage in authentic learning experiences with NASA’s diverse people, content and facilities. Funded by the Minority Undergraduate Research and Education Project’s (MUREP) competitive awards, NASA provides financial assistance to minority serving institutions. These institutions recruit and retain underrepresented and underserved students, including women, girls, veterans and persons with disabilities, into STEM fields.
During the program, students compete to become a NASA Community College Aerospace Scholar by completing STEM-based activities online to become eligible to visit a NASA Center for a four-day, expenses paid, onsite experience.
The genesis of Microalgae came from an alumni of the NCAS activity who simply proposed a good research idea and is now an International Space Station (ISS) Payload Developer.
