For over 60 years, alumni have played a significant role in the defining and shaping of Orange County Community College. As the first county-sponsored community college in the State of New York, SUNY Orange has a long and proud tradition of alumni and community involvement. The alumni relations and special events objective is to continually improve a defined alumni relationship building and engagement process that brings mutual joy, pride and satisfaction to both present and future alumni. A vibrant alumni relations program is one in which graduates are engaged and supporting the college to the full extent of their ability, through both their time and personal resources.
