Hello from the RVCC CARES Team!  CARES stands for Campus Assessment, Response, and Evaluation.  Our team consists of professionals from multiple areas of the College. We meet bi-monthly to evaluate students of concern and connect them with appropriate resources.  You can self-navigate these resources, share them with others, or request support through the referral form:

The RVCC CARES Team is committed to supporting the well-being, safety, and success of our students through proactive intervention and resource referrals. We strive to promote an inclusive, safe, and welcoming culture at RVCC.
