RCC Student Life

I am currently working towards my Applied Associates in Business Technology as well as a Certificate in Small Business Management at Rogue Community College. It is my hope to transfer to Oregon State University to complete an undergraduate business degree.

Returning to school at the age of twenty-seven was a big transition. After nearly a year of being back in traditional schooling, I am proud of my academic progressions and plan to continue to make strides towards my goals. I believe that the first step is sometimes the hardest to take. I encourage others to not to allow the fear of failing to stop them from taking that first step.

In my spare time, I enjoy the peace of rural Southern Oregon. My hobbies include gardening, hiking, weekend adventures with my family, and hanging out with our animals. I am grateful to be part of a loving community of friends and family.

I’m excited to be serving as Business Specialist for Alpha Zeta Pi and I am looking forward to connecting with students and staff. Creating a sense of community is something I hope to cultivate in my time with AZP. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Here at RCC I am pursuing my associate of science transfer degree with a focus on biology. At SOU, I plan to continue to work for a bachelor’s degree in biology and then work towards getting my medical science license. I am currently your Vice President of Alpha Zeta Phi.

In my free time, you can find me riding my horse Levi or working out at the gym. I currently barrel race and I am helping my mom to ride her horse. I am grateful for my support system that has pushed me to pursue my dreams of becoming a forensic pathologist and work in the healthcare industry.

As your Vice President, I want to bring our community together to aspire new ideas and continue to push each other to achieve our goals. I believe if you put your heart into your dreams with the right support being backed behind you, that you will be able to achieve them. I want to push all of the students here at RCC to follow their dreams.

Howdy! My name is Guy, Yes that is my real name! Originally born and raised in Austin Texas. After high school I sought the healing arts and practiced massage therapy which I still practice. In 2014, being disenchanted with big city energy, I moved to southern Oregon after falling in love with the area and the many wonderful things Oregon.

After being in Oregon for nearly a decade I decided to reinvent myself by investigating Rogue Community College and higher education. After dipping my toe in the intellectual waters, I decided to pursue a degree in Computer Science with the intent of managing networks for a state institution or school. When I first started my educational reawakening, I was insecure about it because it had been so long since I had been a student, I was not a diligent proactive student in my younger years, and I am older. I am here to say that dreams are reachable. Put in the work. Aim for the best grades possible, study hard and do work you’re proud of, you can succeed and further your life in a positive direction.

For anyone reading this, Alpha Zeta Pi is an organization that recognizes your achievements and gives you opportunities to further your development, participating in it is going to make you a better person and a better student. Part of college experience is not only learning in classes but networking with individuals in your community and learning skills to compete in job markets.

AZP has so much potential, my primary goal is contributing to the sustainability of AZP through awareness and student involvement and helping create a positive impact on student life and student success. I used to say, “fake it till you make it”, now I say, “practice it till you master it."
