A society creates greatness when men & women plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

Last week, our @UnitedWay Campaign Kick-Off was filled with shining lights, support and purpose.
I was deeply moved by Susana from the Permian Basin Mission Center, whose story centered on three powerful words: Respect, Love, & Commitment. Her message reminded us that lasting change starts with how we care for one another.
Through @UnitedWayOdessa and every dollar raised our neighbors find hope.
When @OdessaCollege comes together, our community shines brighter. 💙

✨ Excited to share ✨

This November I’ll deliver the keynote at the 18th Annual Odessa College Honors Luncheon, a celebration that raises scholarships for students in nursing, education, engineering, music & more.

From combat medicine to the ER, I’ve seen how resilience & leadership matter most when lives are on the line. I look forward to sharing those lessons with the Odessa community.

Last week, we were proud to host a live electrical arcing demonstration led by the awesome team @oncor
Students, faculty, and community members witnessed firsthand the skill and expertise required to manage real-world electrical linework safely. This type of hands-on learning opportunity highlights @OdessaCollege's dedication to workforce development, industry partnerships, and preparing the next generation of skilled trades professionals.
A big thank you to @oncor for investing their time and resources to showcase how education and industry can work together to power the future!

I can recall many different times. Each one not only impacts my day but also positively makes a mark on myself. Genuine appreciation and support has somewhat been lost for most people because of how busy we all are but when a colleague/coworker does a simple yet meaningful gesture it does so much for the person receiving. Lifting each other up is what it's all about and I truly appreciate all those that have done that for me. #OCALLIN

Industry Spotlight @OdessaCollege!
Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming @LibertyFrac to our Odessa main campus & Auto/Diesel Tech Center for their first-ever visit! Diesel, instrumentation, electrical, and CDL students had the chance to connect directly with Liberty Recruiting, learn about career opportunities, and hear firsthand how their education translates into real-world impact.
We’re proud to provide students with direct access to employers who are shaping the future of the industry — and grateful to Liberty Energy for seeking our hardworking and disciplined students.
Looking forward to the many great connections & opportunities to come!

@OdessaCollege When individuals thrive, businesses grow and when businesses grow, they create even more opportunities for workers. It’s a cycle of mutual benefit that strengthens economies and communities. #TweetOC #OCXchange

@OdessaCollege A thriving workforce requires a mix of technical, interpersonal, and cognitive skills such as ethical judgment, strategic thinking, and data literacy. OC faculty is already applying these skills for the students and can expand on them even further. #TweetOC #OCXchange
