The Point: RCTC staff organize spring cleaning clothing drive to help UCR students for next career move

Finals. Graduation. Job Interviews. As a student, college life can be overwhelming. Looking for a job in the real world can be even more overwhelming and frightening.  But dressing for the job you want doesn’t have to be. RCTC recently partnered with the University of California, Riverside (UCR) to donate clothing for their  R’Professional Career Closet.

The R’Professional Career Closet helps UCR students prepare for their future careers by providing snazzy business dress clothes for interviews, career fairs, and networking events. Students needing business clothing can peruse the closet for the perfect blouse, dress pants, jacket, or blazer at no cost! Students will need to check out their clothes with the student ID and are off to the next step in their careers. The program’s mission is “…to connect, inspire, and empower all UC Riverside students to become the most career-ready talent in the global workplace.”

RCTC staff helped support the next generation of professionals in Riverside County by opening their closets and pulling gently used professional attire for donation to the program.

In addition to decluttering your closet, recycling clothes helps promote environmental sustainability by extending the life of clothing and reducing textile waste. To learn more about UCR’s R’Professional Career Closet, please visit UCR’s Career Center website.

The Point: Route provides easier connections to and from campus

UC Riverside students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors have a new way to travel with Riverside Transit Agency’s launch of Route 56. The route made its debut on January 9 with expanded bus service from the Hunter Park Metrolink Station to the UCR campus.

Fully funded by UCR, the service improves access around the campus with more stops and loops around UCR than any other route. Stops along the southeast side of campus and University Village make it a convenient option for those needing to move about the campus.

Route 56 is one of five routes that serve the campus and features direct connections to popular Routes 1, 13, 14, 16, 51, and the CommuterLink Express 204 (UCR to Montclair).

The programs allow free rides on all RTA buses, including CommuterLink and GoMicro, for attendees of UCR, California Baptist University, La Sierra University, Moreno Valley College, Mt. San Jacinto College, Norco College, Riverside City College. Download the GoMobile app to get started.
