  • 2016 Report to Our Community
    2016 Report to Our Community 1 A Welcome: President’s Message Taking a look back on 2016 in this report, one message is abundantly clear: Rend Lake College is making good things happen for our students, graduates, and community. Last year, RLC found its way to the top of several national rankings, all due to the continued dedication and support for our students. These independent studies looked at our graduates and how the investment of their time and money at RLC works out in the end, effectively highlighting our focus on student success. In the last year, we made room for several new degrees and certificates, and revised six programs to keep our graduates competitive in their growing fields. We also collaborated with local businesses and four-year institutions to offer our graduates new opportunities, even after they’ve walked across our Commencement stage. Terry Wilkerson, President Also notable are the AmeriCorps and Brookwood-Sago grants that will offer more possibilities for our students through community outreach and specialized training. A new team in the RLC Foundation also highlights a focus on student success through scholarships. That’s not the only part of RLC that has undergone a transformation. Many of our buildings on campus have seen recent renovations, including the RLC Foundation Children’s Center, the Rec Center, and Warrior Way. As we move into our 50th year, our faculty, staff, and administration are continuing the hard work started many decades ago, to center our efforts on the next generation of graduates in the workforce. We’re here to serve you, our community, so drop by for a visit, give us a call, or send us an email so we can address your comments, concerns and questions.
