Joseph R. Kroll Memorial

Joe Kroll was a member of the OCC staff from 1953 until his sudden death in 1975. He served as a teacher, a coach, and as the Dean of Students for 13 years.

Under his leadership, the Student Services program and the Associated Students of Orange Coast College rose to a position of prominence both within the state and across the nation.

He was a loved and respected member of the Coast family. President Robert Moore said of Joe, “(He) was a member of the staff for so long that it’s almost impossible to think of OCC without him. He will be missed by students and faculty alike.”
