First and foremost, a big congratulations is in order for our partner Richmond Community College, who celebrated their 60th anniversary in 2024! Richmond Community College was founded as Richmond Technical Institute in 1964 to provide technical, vocational, and higher education for students across Scotland and Richmond Counties. Although Richmond Community College might have had a couple of name changes, campus development projects, and major expansions in curriculum over the past 60 years, its core mission to serve the students of Richmond and Scotland Counties has always rung true. Richmond Community College, along with the 57 other community colleges in the state of North Carolina, play invaluable roles in providing high-quality, accessible education and opportunities for the people in the communities they serve across our state.

At DigitalNC, some of our favorite moments are when we get to celebrate our partners, whose collaboration helps us show DigitalNC visitors all of the communities and collective histories we share across our beautiful state. As we ring in Richmond Community College’s six decades of service to students in North Carolina, we are excited to announce that new records documenting Richmond Community College’s more recent history are now available on DigitalNC. Course catalogs from 2010 to 2023, as well as student handbooks from 2016 to 2024, join our digital collection from Richmond Community College that spans back to 1967.
