But if it is not useful, what is it? Alfred North Whitehead Philosopher A strong community college for the Oxnard Plains is in the making and its threads are present. The golden strands being the adoption of responsibility that all Oxnard College bound students shall have the opportunity: , .. to attend ... to study ... to understand course work ... to be treated fairly regardless of race, creed, color, or sex ... to be counseled toward college objectives and career goals ... to learn a marketable skill ... to prepare for a successful entry into a four-year college or university It is the belief of the college that the worlds of work and education are not separate. There must be a real connection between what the student will be doing when he or she finishes his or her program of study. Our society expects us to equip men and women for successful entry into the world of work, and it is the college's design to reinforce the notion of the dignity of work. It is also believed that cultural and aesthetic activities are relevant in today's society and are to be fostered. College will strive to capitalize on good understandings and expectations which are present, and to build up better understandings and expectations when they are not present. Oxnard College intends to look to the past to understand the present in order to produce a more successful future. It will strive to be innovative and responsible to the demands of society. Oxnard College will be responsive not only to community needs but to the needs of our larger society and to the world. HISTORY The need for having a community college on the Oxnard Plain has been recognized by the Oxnard, Camarillo, Port Hueneme communities and the governing board and the administrators of the Ventura County Community College District since the district was formed in 1962. There was an understanding during those early years that a college would someday be built on the Oxnard Plain. The next step was taken in 1968 when the district purchased 118 acres for Oxnard College. Ventura College has offered classes at the Port Hueneme Seabee Base for a number of years. The first classes. under the Oxnard Center program, were offered in the fall of 1969 at the Ramona School. That same fall (1969), the architectural firms of Fisher and Wilde of Ventura with Austin, Field and Fry were chosen to design the Oxnard College campus. The Oxnard Center program was expanded in the fal I of 1973 with the opening of the Oxnard Center at Eighth and B Streets. The Camarillo Center at Ponderosa Drive and Arneill Road was opened in February, 1974. The 2000 A.O. Educational Master Plan and strong support from the Oxnard-Port Hueneme area focused attention on the need for the third community college in the district in the spring of 1974.
