RCC to Honor Veterans and First-Generation Students Nov. 10

Everyone is welcome to join Rogue Community College (RCC) in celebrating and honoring veterans and first-generation college students on Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 9 to 11 a.m. at all three RCC campuses.

Hosted by RCC’s Student Veterans Organization (SVO) and TRiO Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC), the events recognize both Veterans Day and First-Generation College Celebration Day, bringing together students, employees, alumni, veterans and community members.

Come celebrate members of our community, including:

  • Veterans, military-connected students, employees and community members who served in the U.S. Armed Forces
  • First-generation college students, faculty, staff and alumni whose parent(s) or guardian(s) did not complete a four-year bachelor’s degree

At the Redwood Campus and Table Rock Campus, attendees can enjoy a free community pancake breakfast while connecting with veteran service organizations, learning about military-connected student resources, meeting fellow community members, learning about how you can support the SVO and an opportunity to recognize and celebrate those who have supported first-generation college student success.

At the Riverside Campus, a cookie social will feature veteran resource tables, a POW/MIA flag signing and an opportunity to recognize and celebrate those who have supported first-generation college student success.

These events reflect RCC’s commitment to supporting veterans, military-connected students and first-generation college students while strengthening connections throughout the Southern Oregon communities the college serves.

Please share these events within your community with these flyers:
