Pokrastinators GO

Pikachu, Charizard and Jigglypuff—virtual creatures that captured the imaginations, and attention spans, of Pokémon GO players across the world this summer. OCCC is hosting a unique enrollment event that encourages players to catch Pokémon while catching some college classes for the fall semester.



“Pokcrastinators GO” will be held on the main OCCC campus Wednesday, Aug. 10, through Saturday, Aug. 13. Each weekday from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. the college will set off lures on the 10 PokéStops around the main building. On Saturday, lures will be set off during Opening Day from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. The purpose of the event is to encourage students to stop procrastinating and get enrolled for fall.



“It’s not unusual for students to wait until the last minute to enroll in college classes,” said Deirdre Steiner, OCCC director of public relations. “With the popularity of Pokémon GO and the amount of gyms and PokéStops on campus, we thought students would enjoy being able to play the game while taking care of tasks like enrollment, financial aid and getting advised.”



The fall semester begins August 15. This is the perfect to opportunity for students to get everything taken care of before classes start. As a bonus, people who come to campus during the event hours will also find that campus offices are less busy than the normal peak time lunch hours.

We ask that you limit your visits to the established college operating hours. Please remember that some areas are private, and no Pokémon will be in these areas.
