The Recruitment and Retention Organizing Committee (RROC) is the governing board of the Student Recruitment and Retention Center and exists to ensure that the goals of the SRRC are satisfied. The board consists of 10 voting members who are mostly undergraduate students.

Mission Statement

The RROC holds that education is a vehicle for liberating individuals and creating change for communities. Guided by the principles of holistic learning, RROC will strive to create an atmosphere conducive for educational achievement encourage the development of critical consciousness at the primary, secondary, and university levels; and serve as a vehicle to empower all people.

Goals

We will promote and support academic preparation, leadership development and cultural enrichment activities for non-college tracked youth and community college students (k-12 & community college).
We will provide student-led, holistic retention support services to historically underrepresented, low-income or educationally disadvantaged enrolled students (undergraduate & graduate).

Priorities

Harm Reduction: We commit to reducing harm caused by institutional oppression and structural mechanisms.
Empowerment & Agency: We strive to promote and role model holistic health management for the wellness of our communities.
Resource Awareness: We will connect and engage our communities with necessary resources on and off campus to nourish and develop them.

Our Graphic Element

With the bright and vibrant colors displayed, the new SRRC graphic element symbolizes our dedication to providing holistic empowerment, cultural support and a safe place for historically underrepresented, educationally disadvantaged and low-income communities at UC Davis. Through this “hand” and “heart” representation, we convey a sense of holding space in alignment with our values—from the physical and virtual spaces that our center provides services through to the emotional and mental space that cultivates the energy within and across our communities. As leaders for educational equity, we honor the legacy of our past, the love we hold for the current communities we serve and the hope we cultivate for future generations through the SRRC.
