New Student Summer Welcome Events
We're so excited that you've chosen RACC to get started on your college journey, and we want to invite you to come to our campus this summer for our series of New Student Welcome Events!
These casual events are a great way to ease the nerves that come with starting college for the first time. You'll meet some of your fellow new students, so you'll recognize a few friendly faces as you start your classes! You'll also start to learn your way around campus and connect with resources here to support you as you start your first semester.
Our 2026 Summer Event Schedule for new students begins with a general welcome session on June 11 from 1 to 3:30 pm. All new students are invited to join us for a fun afternoon that includes meeting faculty, staff, eating some of the area’s best pizza and connecting with some new friends.
June 11, 2026 - 1PM - 3:30PM
- Pre-registration is required.
Can't make it on June 11th? No problem, the fun continues with several major specific events:
