Oakton Turns 50!

In 1969, Oakton College embarked on its mission to be the community’s college. Fifty years later, Oakton is a vital member of the community, continuing to deliver innovative programs to students, residents, and area businesses.

Oakton’s 50th anniversary provides an exciting opportunity for us to take pride in our past, celebrate the present, and aspire to an even more promising future. And we can’t celebrate without all who have been a part of our five decades of achievements.

We launched the celebratory year on Founders Day—June 25, 2019—and will continue to hold events for the college and community through June 2020.
