What does RRCC need to work on?

  • Encourage more cross discipline collaboration such as learning communities to improve the application of learning.
  • Students who are at risk of failure, should be assigned a faculty advisor to monitor their progress and provide support. 
  • Tutoring should be more available during non traditional times. 
  • Increase financial aid options for students.
  • RRCC needs more resources and better communication to implement good ideas and more willingness to explore new programs and services. 
  • The mission documents of the College are not used effectively by departments or leadership for decision making.
  • RRCC needs to work against the stereotype that expectations and standards are low because it is a Community College.  Avoid investing resources in slick marketing in lieu of instructional breadth and depth.
  • RRCC needs to be more responsive to community needs. Improve outreach efforts that promote the cost effectiveness of community colleges in preparing university bound students,
  • More opportunities for PT professional development and training, advancement and increased pay.  Improve communication with and inclusion of PT faculty. 
  • Improve full time faculty compensation.  Hire more full time faculty.
  • Update equipment in the classrooms and increase support and training in the proper use of the equipment. 
  • Update the books in the library. 
  • Improve the website registration site. 
  • Try harder to avoid class cancellations.  Try and have at least some courses available during summer semester in all disciplines.
  • Even though RRCC has an open door policy, it is important to expect excellence from students.  Degrees and certificates should only be granted to students with demonstrated proficiency. 
  • RRCC needs to add a review session prior to the required assessment exam and enforce assessment testing and appropriate course placement. 
  • Increase intern options and be more systematic about leveraging marketing resources with partner universities. 
  • No smoking around College entrances.
  • Reduce class sizes and encourage more diversity.  
  • Copy machines that work.
