Where alumni have gone
Where have OCF staffers gone after leaving the OCF?
Many OCF staffers have found the skills and experience they gained from being OCF staff have been useful after leaving us. While we obviously can't claim credit for everyone or being the sole source of experience for people, we'd like to think everyone who has donated time to help us has gained something in return, whether it be skills, experience, new friends, or just the satisfaction of making a difference helping your fellow students.
