Through equity in access, developmental opportunities, and holistic education, we will prepare all members of the RRCC community to actively engage in an increasingly diverse and global society.
Student Learning Goals:
1. Students will develop a deeper understanding of their own cultures as well as those of others; they will develop skills in communicating across cultural differences.
2. Students will gain knowledge in the ways that power and privilege affect the lived experiences of people from a variety of backgrounds.
3. Students will be exposed to opportunities and resources that will support them as successful students and lifelong learners.
