The Rock Creek Campus has renewed its agreement with the “I Have a Dream” Foundation and will welcome between 40 and 50 “Dreamers” to campus this fall. The college provides office space for counseling and advising for the students whose goal is to transfer to a four-year college. Since 2008, Rock Creek has hosted approximately 120 Dreamers to campus.

“Dreamers” will spend four days a week at Rock Creek. The memorandum is in place for two years with an option for renewal.
