Campus Clubs

RCTC clubs provide an outlet for students to create a network of peers who share similar interests. Any currently enrolled student may join an RCTC club or even start one of their own. Clubs explore extra-curricular and co-curricular programming, events, and learning opportunities. There are currently 24 active student clubs that have formed at RCTC varying from academic program interest-based to shared social interest-based.
