Leadership shift Recent leadership changes with Eric Bishop appointed as president in 2026 suggest potential priority shifts and new initiatives. This presents an opening to align with RCC on strategic projects, modernization efforts, and stakeholder onboarding.

Strategic partnerships RCC has engaged in a multi-institution collaboration with school districts, universities, and the City of Riverside to advance aviation and aerospace education. This signals opportunities to offer programs, training solutions, and technology platforms that support collaborative, cross-institution initiatives.

Growth potential Annual revenue is in the mid-range for diversified public higher education institutions and enrollment exceeds 19,000 students per semester. This indicates demand for scalable software, data analytics, enrollment tech, and IT modernization to support student services and operations.

Technology stack RCC currently uses a mix of enterprise and education-focused tools (iCIMS, Microsoft 365, front-end UI libraries, Apple Business Manager). Opportunities exist to bolster HR recruiting, IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, student experience platforms, and integration services tailored to higher education.

Marketing & events Active participation in awards, public events, and high-visibility stadium use for events like the Rose Bowl signals value in marketing, alumni engagement, and campus branding. We see prospects for digital marketing platforms, event management, and sponsorship tech that enhances community reach.
