Speaker at Riverside City College Equitable Counseling Convening Spring 2025

“The workshops were amazing. Both workshops I attended were interactive and I was able to get insights from other campuses.”

The convening opened with a welcome presentation followed by interactive breakout workshops in three strands: equitable counseling, dual enrollment, and student success teams. During lunch, participants heard from Riverside City College students in a student voices panel. The event concluded with a research presentation from Dr. Darla Cooper, Executive Director of The RP Group.
