Student Life
A proud tradition at OVC is the naming of the class with a mascot and a color. This mascot represents them throughout the four phases, and is used regularly in conjunction with not only academics, but also intramural. Hockey plays a large part in these intramural, with rivalries coming to a head in a college wide round-robin "Challenge Cup", held in March of every year.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
