ROCKLAND COUNTY, N.Y. (April 19, 2020) – Rockland Community College has organized a series of Unity in Community: Rising as One events and activities that highlight and honor the collaboration, passion and compassion that has boosted RCC’s community spirit over the past year.

All events are free and open to the public.
“RCC is proud to celebrate and embrace each other during these challenging times by coming together with the upcoming events and activities,” says RCC President Dr. Michael A.
