Randolph Community College English as a Second Language Celebration Set for Aug. 10

Randolph Community College’s English as a Second Language students will be honored at a celebration set for Friday, Aug. 10, at 6 p.m. in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center on the Asheboro Campus. A presentation in the auditorium will be followed by a covered dish meal and music in the Armadillo Café.

“This is the one event in which all the people who make the program a success will be gathered,” said Yacine Kout, coordinator/instructor of English as a Second Language for RCC. Students who have had perfect attendance for the summer semester, students who have moved up a level in English proficiency, students who have entered the GED program, and students who have earned their citizenship will be recognized, he said. “But this is to be a program-wide celebration—all students in our program are invited as well as their family and friends.”

Randolph Community College partners with many community organizations and agencies to provide English as a Second Language classes in sites that are more convenient for the students. These include several Randolph County elementary schools (Randleman, Liberty, Southmont, Tabernacle, Seagrove), Goodwill Industries, Acme-McCrary, the city of Ramseur, the YMCA, the Latino Coalition, Mision Adonai, and Mision Evagelica Pacto. “Without these community partners, we would not be able to reach as many students,” said Kout.

The public is invited to help RCC celebrate these accomplishments.
