"Throughout my VISTA year, I worked closely with faculty, students, staff, community partners, and administrators. Because I worked with such a diverse group of people on so many projects, my skills and experiences put me at a higher level than many of my peers were after college. After my year as a RICC AmeriCorps*VISTA, not only did I secure a full time position at an area college, I am much more confident in my abilities to 'get things done'." Erin McCauley, RICC VISTA Alumni 06-07
