Since its establishment in 1970, RCC has been dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality learning opportunities for a diverse student body, fostering personal growth and professional success. What began as a federal training facility, the Fort Vannoy Job Corps Training Center, has transformed into a dynamic institution committed to empowering its community.

Academically, RCC is renowned for its comprehensive array of educational programs and robust job training opportunities.

The college's history reflects a continuous evolution to meet the changing needs of its community. After its founding in Josephine County, RCC significantly expanded its reach in 1996, integrating all of Jackson County into its district. This strategic move solidified its role in providing an even broader spectrum of educational services and empowering countless students to achieve their academic and professional aspirations. Under the leadership of President Randy Weber, who took the helm in 2022, RCC continues its legacy of innovation and community engagement, offering an engaging and supportive environment for all learners.
