Money Smart Financial Literacy Course
RCC joined MSFCP in fall 2022. As part of the new model, RCC is offering a Money Smart financial literacy non-credit course that runs for 10 weeks. Enrollment is now open for students interested in enhancing their financial knowledge and skills.
RCC Innovative Practices
RCC provides all prospective students with a welcome packet, familiarizing them with the program and its benefits. Several marketing initiatives have strengthened recruitment, including:
- The “Game of Life” event, where students engage in real-world financial scenarios and are introduced to MSFCP.
- Outreach through freshman year seminars, English Language Skills Academy events, TRIO activities, and workshops sponsored by the RCC Investment Club.
- The Women & Wealth Workshop, which focuses on financial empowerment.
