Communication at COCC

Internal communication at COCC is a top priority and our communication channels are designed to give every employee the opportunity to be connected and well informed

COCC employees are expected to read daily the two COCC Outlook communication folders, COCC Headlines and Bobcat Community.

COCC Headlines

COCC Headlines is the main channel for overarching official College news and business. Posts to this Outlook folder are made by the president, the president's leadership team, policy committee chairs and the Marketing and Public Relations department.

Communication at COCC

Bobcat Community

The Bobcat Community Outlook folder is for college-wide communication by employees, departments and non-policy committees. All posts must be COCC related and relevant to most employees. Posts can be made by any COCC employee; one post per announcement.

All those posting on Bobcat Community should reflect on whether their post could be consolidated or is truly relevant for the majority of COCC employees. Daily posts by one department or employee are not acceptable. Follow-up reminders to previous posts are discouraged and may be deleted. Cross-posting of items is not acceptable. (Items should only appear in one folder.)

Other ways to communicate

In addition, College employees may use the Breakroom Outlook folder for announcements not related to the College.

Examples include information about off-campus events, requests for recommendations for professional services and items for giveaway.

Because Breakroom is only available to COCC employees, it is a violation of ORS 244.040(1) to post about the following topics:

  • Items for sale where financial proceeds from the sale would benefit yourself, a relative, a household member, and/or a business with which you are affiliated
  • Fundraising for an organization with which you, a relative, and/or a household member are affiliated

It is everyone’s responsibility to keep Bobcat Community and Breakroom effective communication tools by using good judgement for appropriate postings.

Posts that contain content that may be offensive based on issues such as race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, acts of violence, etc., will be removed.
