Over the past six months, Rogue Community College’s IT Department has been engaged in a thoughtful and deliberate transformation — one grounded in people, purpose and performance. This work builds on insights from national higher-education technology trends, including conversations at the Educause conference, as well as the findings and recommendations from the Tambellini Report, which provided a clear assessment of our current environment and the opportunities ahead.
As part of this transition, several long-serving IT colleagues have moved on to new chapters in their careers. We are grateful for their contributions to RCC and wish them continued success.
At the same time, we are strengthening our foundation for the future. The IT Department is actively working to align and modernize our services, ensuring our processes, support structures and technology pathways are better positioned to meet the evolving needs of our students, faculty and staff. We also have multiple IT positions currently in recruitment, representing RCC’s investment in building a stronger, more resilient and more service-oriented technology environment.
As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the staff, faculty and partners across the college who continue to collaborate with IT, offer feedback and support this ongoing work. Your engagement is essential, and your patience and partnership are deeply appreciated.
We are moving forward — deliberately and together, strengthening the services we provide to our college community.
