“While you’re here, dive into ‘The Fun Zone’ from 11:00am – 1:00pm and make yourself at home,” stated RCC President Melissa Singler. “It’s a day of fun, games, and registration too.”
“And, don’t forget to show your RCC spirit by wearing blue and green. Everyone is invited to attend,” Singler added.
Kickoff registration will take place from 8am – 6pm in Building 13. Prospective students can receive assistance with the RCC application, complete financial aid, and register for classes all in one day.
Course offerings include many college transfer courses such as American History, Art Appreciation, Developmental Psychology, Introduction to Computers, and Anatomy and Physiology, as well as career and technical classes in Early Childhood Education, Accounting, Business, Medical Coding & Billing, Health Careers, Criminal Justice, Gaming and Simulation, Hospitality Management, and more.
The Night Academy for Basic Law Enforcement Training begins October 17. The application deadline for this program is September 29.
For those eligible, enrolling in a curriculum program at RCC could be completely free with funding available through federal, state, and other resources.
“There has never been a better time to attend Robeson Community College than today,” Singler said. “Don’t miss this opportunity to go after your dreams. We have over 80 programs of study leading to an associates degree, diploma, or certificate.”
Continuing education classes are also available with registration taking place in Building 18. Registration for Career and College Readiness will take place in Building 3.
“We have amazing short-term training programs that lead to long term careers, and we have opportunities for you to reach milestone, after milestone, after milestone,” Singler said. “You can start at RCC, earn your high school diploma, become an EMT or Pharmacy Technician, and within two years or less, walk across the stage as a college graduate with an associates degree… You just have to believe in yourself.”
Singler says that Robeson Community College has been in the business of creating successful futures for over 50 years.
“You can see our impact locally, but our reach is well beyond Robeson County. Our alumni are employed all around the world serving at hospitals, universities, public school systems, daycares, restaurants, corporations, manufacturers, and in the military…. Many of our graduates have their own business and are self-employed.”
According to Singler, the Homecoming celebration has something for everyone to enjoy and she personally invites everyone to attend.
“I hope that everyone in our community will stop by RCC during our Homecoming Celebration to see all the great things we have to offer as we continue to build the workforce of tomorrow, today,” Singler added.
