Minnesota State University, Mankato and Riverland Community College jointly announced today a partnership between the two institutions that includes guaranteed admission and in-state tuition rates at Minnesota State Mankato to prospective high school students from Iowa who meet designated criteria. The “Future Maverick” program, effective this fall for newly enrolled Riverland students from Iowa, provides a seamless pathway for students to earn an associate’s degree from Riverland and a bachelor’s degree from Minnesota State Mankato.

Riverland Community College has named Kelly McCalla as new academic dean of the arts, humanities and social sciences division. He starts his new position July 2.

The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) Board of Trustees voted unanimously at their May 21 meeting to approve Riverland’s revised vision, mission and heart statements.

Congratulations to the Riverland Community College Women's Softball team for achieving academic excellence as a 2013-2014 NJCAA All-Academic Team.
