November 10-14–First Generation Celebration

​RCTC TRIO and Student Life are collaborating to celebrate First-Generation College Students the week of November 10. TRIO defines first-generation college students as those whose parents have not earned a four-year degree.

Did you know that 51% of current RCTC students are first-generation college students?

Stop by the TRIP office, located on the first floor just off the Atrium, to check out the First-Gen Gratitude Tree, where students, faculty, and staff can write a thank you to whomever inspired them to attend college. We will also have a resource table where students can browse information on campus services and supports for all students.
