Riverland Community Impact
Riverland Invites Austin Community to Learn College Impact
Riverland Community College Foundation invites the Austin community to the West Building of our Austin Campus to learn more about Riverland’s impact in the community and how community members can get involved.This event, to be held Nov. 16, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Nursing Simulation Lab area includes networking, appetizers, drinks, a short program, and the opportunity to meet Riverland President Dr. Kat Linaker. We hope by attending, you'll better understand the role of the Riverland Community College Foundation and how you can make a difference in the lives of Riverland students through support.
By holding Community Impact gatherings on each of our campuses, we hope to highlight programs Riverland offers and to share a glimpse into what the student experience at Riverland is like. Although this event is free to attend, guests will be asked to make a gift to support Riverland students.
“The community impact event is a fun opportunity for community members to come together to celebrate Riverland’s impact in the community, learn about exciting upcoming initiatives, and consider ways you can get involved in supporting Riverland students and the college,” said Janelle Koepke, Dean of Institutional Advancement. Plus, if you haven’t met Kat Linaker, Riverland’s new president, this is a great way to meet and learn more about her leadership experience in higher education.”
Riverland’s Austin Campus is located at 1900 8th Avenue Northwest. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP at www.riverland.edu/impact by Nov. 10 to assist us with planning. Late registrations will be accepted.
