President's Letter
Welcome to the Golden Eagles Family!
You will often hear me say, “We are RVC Strong because our community is strong.” RVC Strong means a lot of different things, but what does it mean to you as a student? It means you are a part of something bigger than yourself. It means you have a community of faculty, staff, administrators, and fellow students who are here to support you to make sure your time at RVC is not only a success, but an experience you will look back on years from now and remember as life changing.
Rock Valley College’s Mission Statement reads: “Rock Valley College empowers students and community through life-long learning.” That means we are a student-focused institution. That means everyone who works here, in everything we do, should be focused on making RVC a better place for you to learn, grow, and thrive.
We do that by following the four pillars of the 2022-2027 Strategic Plan:
-
Access
-
Exceptional Educational Opportunities
-
Exceptional Training Opportunities and
-
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We do that through faculty engagement with students. We do that by providing valuable resources such as the Tutoring Center and Writing Center, academic advising and personal counseling. We do that by providing opportunities to immerse yourself in the RVC culture through student organizations, campus events, athletics, intramurals and the arts.
As your president, it’s my responsibility to support your success as a student. When you see me out-and-about on campus, don’t hesitate to approach me or just say “hello.” Be on the lookout for various ways I will engage with students throughout the year.
At Rock Valley College, we are dedicated to providing you with exceptional educational and training opportunities, but we are also committed to making it a place where everyone feels welcomed and supported. Like a family. Because we are better together.
