College Support


More assurances that Rainy River Community College won't be closing anytime soon

The College is among the smallest in Minnesota, but Interim Provost Ken Simberg told a group of International Falls business leaders the college plays a big role in the area.

"Rainy River needs to be here to serve the individuals who have college desire," says Simberg, "want to stay locally and go to school. Plus, I believe we service a very important part of being a community. We serve the workforce needs. We serve the training needs."

Simberg says they're working to build enrollment by adding new programs and promoting itself more to Ontario students.
