At Rogue Community College, we believe in the power of education and support our students every day in ways both big and small. RCC has a long history of faculty and staff who not only dedicate themselves to student success but choose to strengthen that impact through charitable giving. These employees are known as Rogue Heroes.
The “Rogue Hero Campaign” started in 2011 and has continued to grow over the years. In just the past five years, staff members have contributed over $135,000 to:
- Fund scholarships
- Support special projects
- Empower student clubs
- Provide emergency assistance for food, housing, and other needs
Every dollar donated, whether it’s a one-time gift or a monthly donation through payroll deduction, goes directly towards helping students succeed!
The RCC Foundation is so grateful for all our Rogue Heroes that make such a big difference, and we’re excited to recognize them. That’s why we launched our Rogue Hero Spotlight in January 2026.
This month, we are highlighting Rogue Hero Mike McClure.

What made you decide to participate for the first time?
Just doing my part to ensure that students can overcome financial barriers to the successful completion of their programs.
What makes you proud to be an employee donor?
I was a struggling student at RCC who depended on financial help to complete my certificate and degree. I feel pride in being able to pay that forward to other students.
How do you feel employee giving contributes to student success?
It helps employees stay connected to the real reason why we work here. Witnessing others complete their degrees and certificates and move on to better things as we have.
What would you say to a colleague who’s considering donating?
Everyone should do their part in whatever way they can.
Joining is simple and makes a real difference. Whether it’s $5 once or $10+ monthly, your gift supports RCC students working toward a better future.
Become a Rogue Hero and support students as they build their future!
