Welcome to <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Rocks</strong><strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Hello and welcome to the book<br />
that could change your life.<br />
Enclosed is an overview of <strong>Red</strong><br />
<strong>Rocks</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> –<br />
who we are, the principles that<br />
guide us every day, how we<br />
operate, and most important of<br />
all, the wealth of classes and<br />
learning <strong>options</strong> we offer to<br />
help you achieve your educational<br />
goals and experiences.<br />
Since 1969, when we opened<br />
as a campus of <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> of Denver, <strong>Red</strong><br />
<strong>Rocks</strong> has changed in many ways in response to<br />
changes in our student body and the educational needs<br />
of our communities. What has remained constant for us<br />
is a strong commitment to provide students with an<br />
excellent educational opportunity to fit their needs –<br />
retraining for a changing job market, a close-to-home<br />
and affordable jump-start on a four-year degree, new<br />
skills to enhance their performance at work, or simply<br />
the joy of learning something new.<br />
If you know exactly what you want to learn, you’ll find<br />
easy-to-access information in this catalog. If you are<br />
uncertain where you want to go, leaf through and<br />
explore the possibilities at <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Rocks</strong>. Need a knowledgeable<br />
guide? Use the catalog as a tool, as one of our<br />
advisors helps you discover the direction that’s right for<br />
you.<br />
We have certificate and two-year degree programs in<br />
everything from arts to multimedia technology to water<br />
quality. Because our students have busy lives beyond<br />
their education, we offer classes day, night and weekend,<br />
online and independent study.<br />
Those seeking a challenge can sign up for our honors<br />
classes or explore our international education <strong>opportunities</strong>.<br />
Through my years as an educator, it has been my great<br />
pleasure to see thousands of community college students<br />
take that first step toward their individual definition<br />
of success (A community college was my first step<br />
in realizing my personal and professional goals.). Let<br />
<strong>Red</strong> <strong>Rocks</strong> help you onto your path to success.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Eric E. Reno, Ed.D.<br />
President<br />
