The award was presented at the Tree City USA Conference and Award Ceremony, held at the Department of Natural Resources building in Springfield on March 27, 2012.

The Conference on Diversity and Globalization will be held on Thursday, June 14, and Friday, June 15, at Richland Community College. This year's conference theme, "Serving the World Outside Our Door," asks us to consider how the lessons learned in the classroom must carry into the communities in which we live and work to broaden our individual, community, and world views.

The sounds of summer are nearly upon us…birds are chirping, lawn mowers are humming, children are watching television and playing video games. Introduce the cool factor this summer by enrolling your child in a class through Richland Community College’s Discover Summer Youth program.

Richland Community College invites you to join a year-long celebration of its 40th anniversary. In the coming year, the College’s official 40th anniversary logo will be used in place of the current Richland logo. Special events commemorating this milestone will be held beginning August 2011, and will culminate with the President’s Ball in September 2012, and will be targeted toward the College’s community, alumni, and staff.
