Informational Fencing Club Meeting
Interested in fencing? Join in during an introduction meeting on Thursday, February 19 in Endicott Hall Room M1411 from 4pm to 5pm. This is a chance to learn about the sport, meet others who are interested, and help us gauge interested in starting a Fencing Club at RCTC.
Everyone is welcome. No experience is needed.

Hive Supply
Throughout the year, hundreds of students at RCTC visit the Hive Supply to pick up perishable and non-perishable foods, school supplies and hygiene products. This resource is free to all current students.
How does it work? Students enter the Hive Supply, fill up a bag with up to 15 items, and then swipe their student ID on the way out. Swiping your ID helps us track how many students utilize this resource.
The Hive Supply hours are subject to change throughout the week.
Interested in donating? Bring non-perishable foods, school supplies, or hygiene products to C407 or drop them in a Hive Supply donation bin located at Heintz Center.
