RCC's Commitment to Student Equity

The changes driven by a pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and feedback from students, faculty, classified professionals and administrators has presented a clear need for change with a focus on closing racial equity gaps and combatting racism.

RCC is first committed to establishing an effective, campus-wide culture of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Efforts include outreach that will allow us to surround students in targeted equity groups with the academic, instructional, self-affirming and direct support they may need in order to stay engaged in campus life, successfully enrolled in courses and to ultimately receive degrees and certificates and transfer to colleges and universities in a timely manner.
