2015 rctc basketball season program

BASKETBALL Fans... Welcome to another exciting season of Yellowjacket Basketball at Rochester Community and Technical College! On behalf of the team, coaches, students, faculty, and staff, thank you for your support.

As the President of this great institution, I am excited for what

the year holds for our student athletes, both on and off the court. I am also very excited for what our future holds as we mark 100 years of providing accessible, affordable, quality learning opportunities to serve a diverse and growing community. I hope you are able to return to the campus throughout the year to participate in the many celebrations scheduled for our Centennial.

In addition to celebrating our history, we are also excited to provide to our student athletes a college experience typically found at four-year universities. Thanks to the support of our local community, the Regional Sports Center was built to serve both our student athletes and also the community in a variety of athletic competitions. Take a few minutes between games to walk the facilities and experience what it has to offer to our student athletes and the community.

In addition to the athletic facilities, students on our campus may also choose from a variety of other student life programs to make life-long connections with other students, develop leadership and life skills, and of course, be part of the most extensive varsity sports program of any public two-year college in the state. So while on campus, feel free to tour the entire campus, study in our library, view our artwork, or just walk the grounds. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find at RCTC.

Again, thank you for your support, and GO YELLOWJACKETS!

Leslie R. McClellon, RCTC President
