Breathe Free
In conjunction with the Robeson Community College Board of Trustees and President Melissa Singler, the Breathe Free Initiative is pleased to announce that RCC is now a Tobacco Free/Smoke Free Campus!
Our goal is to provide a learning and work environment that promotes productivity and the well-being of our students and employees. The College recognizes that tobacco use in the workplace can adversely affect employees as well as students and other patrons. The smoking/tobacco use policy applies to employees, students, and visitors while on the College premises.
Employees and students may contact Student Support Services for information regarding the effects of smoking/tobacco use and the availability of smoking cessation programs.
