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 who 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 Jodie Fulton.

What made you decide to participate for the first time?
I was interested in helping the college fund educational opportunities for students.
What makes you proud to be an employee donor?
Knowing that the funds I contribute can be used to assist students meet their educational goals.
How do you feel employee giving contributes to student success?
Giving scholarships to students allows them to focus on school rather than how they are going to pay for classes, rent, food and other important obligations such as transportation or childcare. Students also feel a sense of pride knowing that they have earned a scholarship and in turn, tend to be more successful both academically and at home.
What would you say to a colleague who’s considering donating?
Please donate. It does not take any effort to contribute, and every dollar, combined with other contributions, makes such a difference in a student’s ability to succeed. Also, it feels amazing to see the faces of those students as they walk across the stage at graduation.
Is there anything else you would like to add about Rogue Heroes?
I am honored to be a long-time Rogue Hero! It has been fun to participate in activities and support the Foundation in its support of our students.
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!
