Vision

The RCCD Global Learning & Study Abroad Program envisions a future where RCCD community members have equitable access to transformative global learning opportunities that expand horizons, cultivate resilience, and foster lifelong skills in intercultural communication, collaboration, and empathy. By making the world an integral part of the RCCD experience, we aspire to empower our community members to see themselves as thriving global citizens, prepare to lead with purpose, shape inclusive communities, and contribute meaningfully to a more just, interconnected world.
