COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DURING SUMMER AND FALL 2018

» Community engagement happens when educational institutions like RCC, families and surrounding organizations create partnerships and develop learning opportunities for all.

At RCC, community engagement is a top priority. We have always strived to provide space for us to come together for a shared experience. We are continuously looking for new partnership opportunities and engaging with non-profit organizations to spread the College’s reach across Boston.

From participating in Boston’s Caribbean Carnival Parade with our first float, to hosting events like the Roxbury Rocks Music Festival and Comedy Fete 2018, here are some of the ways we’ve engaged with our friends and neighbors over the last several months.
