JOSE ALIAGA
Candidate for Oakland Community College Board of Trustees
OCC Alumnus • Public Servant • Community Leader
My journey in higher education began at Oakland Community College, where I earned two associate degrees before continuing my education at the University of Michigan.
OCC helped open doors for me, and today I want to give back to the institution that was an important part of my own American journey.
My experience in public service has taught me the importance of responsible leadership, fiscal accountability, transparency, and listening to the people we serve.
As a candidate for OCC Trustee, I want to help ensure that Oakland Community College continues providing accessible, high-quality education while preparing students for today's workforce and tomorrow's opportunities.
