Reading Area Community College encourages students to continue their academic pursuits outside of the classroom. Often the same written work you produce in your class can be used to present at conferences or even be published in our literary journal.
In addition to writing, there are numerous leadership opportunities on campus, including Student Government, a year-round Leadership Program and multiple student clubs with officer positions.
Have you always wanted to travel? A scholarship program through the business department and international travel through the Phi Theta Kappa honor society may help fulfill your dreams.
Finally, if you like to perform, there are multiple venues, highlighted by the annual 中国澳门博彩官网 Idols competition each spring.
