History and Purpose:

Orange County Community College Association, Inc. is a not-for-profit educational corporation organized by the board of Trustees on November 8, 1954 and incorporated under the laws of the State of New York.  The purpose of this corporation is to establish, operate, manage and promote auxiliary services in harmony with the educational mission and goals of Orange County Community College.  The Association is a self-supporting entity, operating according to fiscally sound business practices.

Along with operating The SUNY Orange Bookstore and Dining Services, the College Association assists Student Activities by receiving and disbursing club and event funds, handles the accounting for Activity Fees and Agency Funds and also purchases and manages real estate which is held for the College for future campus development. 

Sharing office space with the Alumni Association in what was formerly the college president's residence at 41 Conklin Ave., the Association plays a significant role in providing a wide range of services to our campus community.
