From the President

Congratulations on your interest in Randolph Community College. I believe passionately in the mission of the community college. Having both attended and taught at a small junior college, a private university, and a state university, I believe that each of those kinds of institutions has something valuable to offer. But I am a part of community college education because I believe that accessible, affordable, quality education in the community college system is the very best opportunity that many thousands of North Carolinians will ever have to enter into the world of higher education.

I can say without any doubt that you will not find a place more dedicated to the success of the student than Randolph Community College. The faculty, staff, and administration of this College are here for only one reason - to help you succeed in attaining your personal, academic, and career goals. Our budget, our schedule, our organizational structure, our job descriptions, our policies, our procedures - everything at RCC! - are all aimed at student success. At this College, it is truly all about you!!

Some are here because they have just completed high school and want to go on to college, many with plans to eventually attend four-year universities and even graduate school. Others are here because they have been laid off from their jobs and need to train for new career opportunities. There are some here because they want to earn professional certificates that are needed in their careers of choice. Others are here because there is a class or program that is of personal interest to them.

For whatever reason you are here or are thinking about attending here, I am convinced that Randolph Community College may well be your very best next step, wherever you are headed in life!

Come join the RCC family. Together, we can help you turn your dreams into realities!

Sincerely,

Dr. Robert S. Shackleford Jr.
