Ohlone College - Fremont

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Ohlone College is a community college located in Fremont, California. It was established in 1965. It is the main campus of the Ohlone Community College District.

A satellite center called the Ohlone College Newark Center for Health Sciences and Technology opened in January 2008 on an 80-plus-acre site in Newark, California. Voters approved a $150 million bond measure for this project in March 2002.

History of Ohlone College

"Officially named Ohlone College on June 18, 1967, the institution honors the early Ohlone Indians of the Costanoan tribe, who inhabited the Fremont and Newark area. Long before the local Indians were named Costanoans by the Spanish priests, they were known by a neighboring Miwuk tribe as the Ohlones or “people of the West.” Distinguished by peaceful pursuits, especially in agriculture, they held profound reverence for the earth, believing it was theirs for living and not for the taking. They aided the Franciscan Fathers in building Mission San José in the late 18th century and prospered until 1806-33 when a series of epidemics virtually destroyed the tribe."

The Fremont-Newark Junior College District was formed in 1965 following voter approval. Ohlone College opened at Serra Center in 1967, with construction of the Fremont campus following in 1972. The district was first renamed Fremont-Newark Community College District, then Ohlone Community College District.

Center for Deaf Studies

The Center for Deaf Studies is proud to have one of the largest and most comprehensive programs in the West designed to meet the academic and vocational needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.

Ohlone College was created in 1967 to serve members of the Fremont Community. In 1972, the Ohlone College Center for Deaf Studies and Special Services was established when the College opened its doors to 30 Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. The population changes each semester and the Center for Deaf Studies has grown and has served up to 200 Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in a single year.
