Recognition of Oakton’s Excellence
Oakton is a leader among the nation’s community colleges, evidenced by numerous awards and honors bestowed on individual members of the College community and by institution-wide recognitions received. We are especially proud of our selection by the New York Times as one of the nation’s elite community colleges (April 22, 2007). The Times commends our writing intensive Great Books curriculum; our new Global Studies Program; our undergraduate research experiences; our National Science Foundation grants to improve learning in science, math, engineering, and technology; and our Museum Studies program and the Koehnline Museum of Art. Other honors include the BP Leader Award for habitat conservation, Innovation Awards from the Illinois Council of Community College Administrators, Certificates of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from The Government Finance Officers Association (received annually since 1991 for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report), and numerous Paragon Awards for outstanding achievements in communications from the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations, an affiliate Council of the American Association of Community Colleges.
Confident that Oakton is an excellent institution, we also realize that sustaining excellence requires constant vigilance and the courage to reflect on the quality of our programs and services, as well as make difficult decisions when necessary.We present this self study as part of a continuing process of building for the future on our past achievements.
