WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED

• This will be a quick, fun, raising-of-the-flag for EVERYONE on our campus who supports gay rights issues. If you believe that ALL RACC students should be acknowledged and supported (including our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students), please join us. We will rally around the flag pole in the quad to proudly raise the rainbow flag in support of our GLBT students, faculty, staff, friends, and family members.
