By Melissa Polen About a year ago, you could have found me in my office dreading the thought of grading homework.

It is not the full blueprint of everything we do — but it is often the first place students go to decide whether RCC...
During the past year, Rogue Community College’s Marketing & Communications team has been working on a Brand Evolution project focused on strengthening how RCC shows up across communications — while staying true to who we are and the community we serve. First, an important clarification: this work is a brand evolution, not a rebrand. RCC’s identity, mission and logo remain the same. The goal was to modernize and...
