Winter 2024 RCC Gazette

RCC Gazette Winter 2024
Winter 2024 Gazette

The 2023 calendar year was an incredible year of progress at Roxbury Community College! Throughout the year, we celebrated RCC’s 50th Anniversary by respecting our heritage, cultivating leaders, and creating change. Through our 50th Anniversary Celebration, the launch and expansion of student support programs, and the addition of some incredible new team members, RCC grew and prospered throughout the year.

The Health, Wellness & Healing Forum and the Academic Symposium, which were held during the fall 2023 semester, provided our internal and external community with the critical opportunity to convene, prioritize health and wellbeing, and learn from local and national experts. Throughout the Academic Symposium, speakers and panelists focused on the importance of grace—it was an incredibly powerful message and a fitting end to RCC’s 50th Anniversary on-campus celebrations.

Alongside our exceptional 50th Anniversary events, the incredible team of professionals in Academic and Student Affairs worked diligently to provide students with the academic and non-academic resources needed to thrive. I was thrilled to see RCC’s first food pantry, the Rox Box, open in September 2023. And I was equally excited to support the RCC team members who implemented the Tuition-Free Community College plan and MassReconnect. We are certainly breaking down barriers at RCC!

In this edition of the Gazette, you’ll learn more about our incredible 50th Anniversary events, student support programs, financial assistance programs, faculty, staff and more!

In closing, I hope you continue to stay connected with RCC. We’ve officially launched the search for RCC’s 18th president, and I’m confident that we’ll attract qualified, passionate, dedicated professionals to apply. Please visit our website to stay updated and participate in the public finalists interviews—your input is critical to the search process.

Thank you, again. I look forward to seeing you on campus, and at the 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee Gala at the Omni Seaport on February 24, 2024!

JACKIE JENKINS-SCOTT
Interim President
Roxbury Community College
