Hello Yellowjackets!
I am thrilled to welcome each and every one of you to Rochester Community and Technical College! This fall semester marks the beginning of an exciting journey filled with new experiences, challenges, and opportunities. You are now part of a vibrant community that celebrates diversity, innovation, and growth.
As you step into this new chapter, remember that it’s perfectly normal to feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. Embrace these feelings! They are a sign that you are about to embark on something truly significant.
Throughout your time here, you will encounter a wealth of knowledge, forge lifelong friendships, and discover more about yourself than you ever thought possible. Take advantage of everything our campus has to offer—attend events, join clubs, and reach out to your faculty and our staff. They are all here to support you and guide you on your path.
Remember, education is not just about the classes you take, but also about the connections you make and the experiences you gather. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, seek help, and share your ideas. Each one of you brings unique perspectives that enrich our community.
As you navigate through your studies, it’s essential to find a balance. Prioritize your well-being, both mentally and physically. Take breaks, explore the campus, and get involved in activities that inspire you.
Lastly, remember that you are not alone. Look around—your fellow students are sharing this journey with you. Build a support network, lean on one another, and create lasting memories together.
In closing, I wish you all a fulfilling and transformative experience here at RCTC. Welcome to the hive, and here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
We are #YellowjacketStrong,
