History

The London campus was founded in 1962 as the Ontario Vocational Centre (OVC). In 1967 it became Fanshawe College, one of a province-wide system of colleges of applied arts and technology, also referred to as community colleges. Area campuses were subsequently established in Woodstock, St. Thomas, and Simcoe.

Athletics

The 2008-2009 cross country season was a historic one. The Fanshawe women's cross country team won Fanshawe’s third national title in the school’s 41 year history; the first time in 27 years since the men’s basketball team last accomplished the feat in the 1981 season. In addition to the men's 4th consecutive national medal, the result puts the Fanshawe Cross Country program on top of college running in Canada for the 08-09 season. Fanshawe was the only CCAA College to have two podium finishes at the National Championships.
