RRCC Diversity Guiding Principle

“We will value and respect our inherent differences and endeavor to learn from each other….Our educational programs, services and activities will reflect this commitment to diversity.”

Diversity Quote

MLK “Now, I say to you my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed – We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.”

- Martin Luther King, Jr
