In a challenging year, regional partners helped RVC persevere
Howard Spearman
I closed my first editorial after being named Rock Valley College’s eighth president by saying, “we are better together.” This is a sentiment that has rung true throughout the many challenges of 2020, and it is a sentiment that is going to be critical for RVC as we enter 2021.
Together we have adjusted to new ways of teaching and learning, and to an unfamiliar campus environment. The students are the lifeblood of our college, and these days we are missing that vibrancy. Our campuses are lonely. When we do see students on campus, we can’t see their faces behind their masks. Students can’t gather and socialize together. Our athletics teams have not competed since early March and some seasons have been completely lost. Our most celebrated day of each academic year, the commencement ceremony, had to be held virtually.
