    ORANGE COAST COLLEGE SIXTY-SECOND HONORS NIGHT WEDNESDAY, THE THIRD OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY SIX O’CLOCK IN THE EVENING THE SPIRIT OF OCC “There is no education like adversity” -Benjamin Disraeli There is little doubt that 2020 will find itself explored, examined and studied in future history books. At OCC, this year will surely be remembered for its adversity -- it is the year we suffered the tragic loss of a legendary baseball coach, and the year we were driven away from our beloved campus by an unprecedented global pandemic due to the spread of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus. However, it is also the year we saw our campus community come together and demonstrate the commitment to our students and community which define our College - this is the Spirit of OCC. Tonight, as we honor our best and brightest students for their hard work and dedication, we also celebrate the undefeatable spirit that makes our College so special. Although we can’t be together in person, nothing can stop us from honoring your achievements, your hard work, and your accomplishments. Here are a few examples of the Spirit of OCC: + In January, as news of the death of OCC’s baseball head coach John Altobelli reached players and fellow coaches, the devastation rippled across campus. “Coach Alto” was a giant at OCC during his 27 years of service, always going the extra mile to help his student athletes succeed. Faced with the tough decision about whether or not to move ahead with the first game of the season just two days after Altobelli’s death, OCC’s ball players displayed the courage and dedication of their leader and decided to play.

    Orange Coast College ANNUAL REPORT 2018~2019 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 2019 Message From the President Dear Friends, elcome to the 2018-2019 edition of the Orange Coast College Annual Report. As I approach eight month mark of my tenure as WPresident, I am reminded how quickly time passes when you’re having fun! Over these past months, I have been welcomed enthusiastically by OCC’s campus community, as well as our extended community of supporters and friends of the College (see story, page 18). I feel proud to serve as the 11th president of OCC, and humbled to be at the helm at a time of transformational change on campus. This year, OCC will complete three major construction projects that will change the face of our campus, and put us further along on a path to modernizing our facilities to meet the needs of our students. On page 7, you can see the progress of OCC’s new College Center and Student Union project. This two-building facility will serve as a central hub on campus, housing many of OCC’s student services as well as our dining facility, instructional culinary and hospitality labs and classrooms, and offices for our student government. You can also read about the College’s new Aquatics Complex on page 8, which is scheduled to open this summer. The Aquatics Complex will not only benefit our local community by providing a state-of-the-art swim facility with a competition-sized pool, it will also double as an adaptive kinesiology space, offering fitness opportunities and resources to adaptive kinesiology students.

    The Boston Red Sox Sunday, June 14, 2020 * The Boston Globe MLB players resigned in negotiations; owners depict them as entitled Michael Silverman In a sign of a complete communications breakdown, Major League Baseball players displayed profound frustration in rejecting the owners’ latest proposal Saturday night. Saying that their stances “have fallen upon deaf ears,” union chief Tony Clark released a statement saying “it unfortunately appears that further dialogue with the league would be futile. It’s time to get back to work. Tell us when and where.” The union and the commissioner’s office do agree that commissioner Rob Manfred has the power to mandate a 2020 season of any length. Based on prior talks, it appears Manfred probably will come up with a regular-season plan of virtually the shortest length possible, around 50 games, beginning in July and ending by late September. Presumably, the owners will agree to pay players the 100 percent prorated rate they agreed to March 26. The owners say approximately 50 games at 100 percent pay is the limit of their ability to absorb the revenue loss that will ensue from playing in front of no fans. Prior proposals of 82, 76, and the latest, 72 games, all featured guaranteed percentages that essentially mirrored what owners would pay out at 50 games. Late Saturday evening, MLB issued a rejoinder that displayed as much tension and ill will as Clark’s statement, which is saying something. MLB expressed its disappointment that “the MLBPA has chosen not to negotiate in good faith over resumption of play after MLB has made three successive proposals that would provide players, Clubs and our fans with an amicable resolution to a very difficult situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.” MLB depicted the players as an entitled lot, that their claim “to virtually all the revenue from a 2020 season played without fans is not fair to the thousands of other baseball employees that Clubs and our office are supporting financially during this very difficult 2020 season.
