The Record is the online newspaper of the RVCC community, designed, produced and written by students. With a focus on RVCC news, profiles, features and opinions, we publish regularly throughout the semester. Publishing online enables us to present material in a variety of formats, including print, photo gallery, audio and video.
To put out a quality newspaper requires many student volunteers: web designers and production people, reporters, writers, photographers, videographers, and even advertising reps.
If you would like to be part of The Record club, send us an e-mail. We meet Wednesday, 1:30-5:20 p.m. in West 205, but you don't have to be available during that time to be a part of the team.
Got a news tip, story or upcoming event you think the RVCC community ought to know about, send us an
e-mail.
