We are your Oakton. Every student that has ever studied with us, however long ago, remains a part of this institution and its tradition of community. Oakton’s Office of Alumni Relations is continuously working to create and facilitate meaningful opportunities for alumni to engage with the College and each other.
We invite you to stay connected by joining the Alumni mailing list. The Office of Alumni Relations sends periodic updates and invitations to social and networking events to keep you in the Oakton loop.
The Distinguished Alumni Awards recognize former Oakton students who have excelled professionally and provided inspirational service to the community.
RSVP to attend the 2023 Distinguished Alumni Awards ceremony and reception on Thursday, September 28 at 6 p.m. to celebrate four exceptional Oakton alumni.
Many of our alumni choose to give to the Oakton Educational Foundation to help current students continue their education and to invest in the College's future success.
Alumni giving is a “vote of support” in Oakton. It has the power to inspire major donors, foundations and corporations to extend and increase their own support. Alumni gifts, regardless of size, send a message that Oakton is a place worthy of further investment by our community.
Please consider making a contribution today! Online Giving is the easiest and most efficient way to support Oakton. When giving, you may designate your gift to a variety of funds and scholarships. See our Educational Foundation page for more information on how to give.
