MARCH OF OUR PENGUINS
🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

“The students of Red Deer College have been advocating for RDC to offer their own degrees for more than 30 years. It’s no secret that in being a collaborate program can be dangerous as the collaborative institute can pull the plug on the program at any time, leaving the students vulnerable to either having to switch programs, not complete their program, or have to move to a new area. This is why Red Deer College NEEDS to offer their own degrees.” - Brittany Lausen, SARDC President
