Wildlife Images and Free Ice Cream entice visitors
Each of the three Rogue Community College (RCC) campuses, Grants Pass, White City and Medford, will be hosting an August Open House for interested students and families to learn more about college programs and financial aid. RCC invites all community members to visit campus and say hello.
Tours and activities are available at each site and visitors may enjoy free ice cream and chances for prizes.
