Strategic Partnerships Occidental College is actively forming collaborations with external organizations, including recent partnerships with FanWord and OculusIT. These alliances highlight opportunities to offer tailored digital engagement, storytelling platforms, and cybersecurity solutions that support the college's technological advancement and campus safety initiatives.

Innovation in Education The college's recent acquisition of a $5 million gift to establish a music institute demonstrates its commitment to expanding academic offerings and enhancing student experiences. Leveraging this expansion with innovative educational technologies, media production services, or arts-related tech solutions could meet their evolving academic infrastructure needs.

Focus on Security With a recent partnership for managed cybersecurity services with OculusIT, Occidental College is prioritizing campus safety and data protection. This presents opportunities to provide advanced cybersecurity solutions, compliance consulting, and ongoing managed IT support tailored for higher education institutions.

Diversity & Inclusion Despite recent challenges related to discrimination complaints, the college has a history of leadership in diverse educational initiatives through its new president and alumni network. This opens avenues for consulting or tech solutions focused on creating inclusive campus environments, diversity training, and reporting tools to support social equity efforts.
