The Rogue Community College Foundation is proud to recognize the many accomplishments of the college’s alumni, who have made significant contributions to their communities, professions and RCC after completing their education.
In 2008, the RCC Foundation established an annual award to honor and celebrate outstanding alumni.
Each year, the Outstanding Alum Award is presented to an individual who has completed a certificate or degree from RCC and meets at least one of the following criteria:
- Has achieved success in their business, profession or other vocational endeavors.
- Has achieved success in their community through demonstration of contributions to the betterment of society that may include involvement in civic and charitable organizations, volunteer activities, public school systems or other humanitarian undertakings.
The recipient of the Outstanding Alum Award is selected each year from nominations submitted by staff and community members. This year, the award will be presented during the annual President’s Circle Reception in September.
To make a nomination, please visit the RCC Foundation website and complete the Outstanding Alumni Nomination Form. Nominations must be submitted by Aug. 25. The search committee will announce the recipient by the end of August.
