As part of our ongoing efforts to share educational opportunities, Pacific Oaks College is proud to work with many community, educational, and organizational partners that enable them to bring professional development opportunities to their staff, students, and colleagues.
We strive to partner with organizations (be they non-profit, business, or academic) that share our core values of respect, diversity, social justice, and inclusion. We believe in partnerships that are win-win-win relationships -- collaborations that support and enhance both organizations as well as the community at large.
Each partnership is tailored to the needs of the organization to build upon their strengths and help them achieve their desired outcomes. And each partnership is a two-way street, with each entity working together to share resources and expertise.
Below is a sample of our current partnerships. Please contact Heather Fallon, associate vice president of admissions, at [email protected] to learn more.
