CLEEO Project
CLEEO Project has a commitment to promote Chican@s and Latin@s access and success in higher education in an equitable and culturally supportive environment. The CLEEO Project focuses on developing an educational pathway for college students with an emphasis on the successful development of life skills and the attainment of Associate and Bachelor degrees and beyond toward a Post-Graduate and Professional education. This is a Multicultural Counseling Service guided with a culturally sensitive focus and understanding of Chican@ and Latin@ perspectives and directed toward academic major preparation and success in transferring to universities and preparation for postgraduate school (PhD.) and Professional School (Business, Law, and Medicine). Counseling services are also available for students interested in the OCC Honors program and career specialization in STEM and Future Teacher Preparation. CLEEO Project offers a UC and CSU transferable course with an honors option, Counseling A107/A107H with mentorship support. Also, the CLEEO Project hosts a guest speaker series for the campus community each Fall and Spring semester at the CLEEO Project Center. In addition, the CLEEO Project provides scholarship opportunities annually. The CLEEO Project Center also has a permanent art collection featuring Chicanx and Latinx artists and their artwork and is located in the Global Engagement Center, Room 109.
