Rural Colleges as Catalysts for Community Change: The RCCI Experience

Sarah Rubin

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 2001, vol. 16, issue 2

Abstract: The Rural Community College Initiative (RCCI) challenges colleges in economically distressed regions to become catalysts for economic and community development and improved access to education. Led by college/community teams, the 24 sites have experimented with a wide variety of strategic approaches. Through their educational and economic development efforts, RCCI teams are demonstrating how community colleges can help build a foundation for improved prosperity in distressed regions.
