Student Life Offering Fun October Events

OCCC’s Student Life has been busy lately in setting up October events for all students and the campus community to participate in. They include a Drive-In Movie Night, a Welcome Week event and some “Spooktacular” Halloween activities.

Drive-In Movie: Oct. 16 & 17

Want to catch a movie at the drive-in theatre? The Office of Student Life has got you covered! OCCC will pay for your ticket and up to 4 family members. You will be responsible for concessions. Fill out this form below, drive to the Winchester Theatre, provide your student ID at check in and the number of attendees in your party, and enjoy the movie. The theatre is featuring two movies: Hotel Transylvania 2 at 7:15 p.m. and The Nightmare Before Christmas at 8:50 pm. You are welcome to attend both movies for the price of your ticket.
