The RCC Photo Club is a diverse student group with a passion for photography. We have
photographic fun and serve our college and community through volunteer efforts. We
expand our horizons with photography trips and weekly photo challenges.
The club has an advisor who guides the group, but the members drive it. It rises and falls on your initiative and enthusiasm. We hope that you’ll choose to join us!
Each new group guides the club a little differently, however there are some things that we have done for years:
Halloween Town – decorate a classroom door and hallway and pass out candy to children, and run a green-screen photography booth.
Reindeer Roundup and Bunny Hop – set up a simple game or craft table, and photograph
children with Santa and the Big Bunny.
Meetings – Every Tuesday from 12:50 - 1:50 pm in Tech B122, next to the tennis complex.
Club President: Alex Galingo
