Many sections of the College as well as a number of Defence Team partners were set up in Massey Library to provide all at RMC information regarding the services they have available through the Centre. The RMC College Success Centre was developed to enhance the quality of life on campus for students, faculty, and staff. The Centre is a one-stop shop where people can come for academic help, meet with a financial planner, discuss healthier eating and access other programs and services personalized to individual needs.
