OUCEC Higher Education Forum
The goal of the OUCEC Higher Education Forum is to link high schools to colleges through service learning projects, internships and career exploration opportunities in an experiential learning environment. These experiences will improve student achievement and develop stronger communities in northeastern Oklahoma.

Nine area colleges are members of the Higher Education Forum and participate in monthly meetings. The Forum will offer an RFP (Request for Partnership) process that supports post-secondary access, enrollment and student achievement regardless of socio-economic factors.
