What an incredible turnout for CVCC’s Fall CommUNITY Day!

As always, it was a great opportunity to connect with student clubs and organizations, community partners and four-year university partners. This year, I also had the chance to show Redgie what community looks like at CVCC and the many connections that make CVCC the place to be.

We soar higher when we soar together!
