potentially shifting the first week of classes (Jan. 10 – 15) to an online environment.
Any plans will be communicated as quickly as possible. Please continue to check the
Reynolds website and your college e-mail for updates on college operations. Students, please also

will reopen on Tuesday, July 5.
Equity Through Action is an intentional approach to work harder because we must. At Reynolds, equity means understanding our students and what they need from us on day one.
Equity requires organizing ourselves to be better educators. Equity is ensuring that our students feel that they belong, feel that they are seen, and feel that they are valued. And we must comprehend what it takes to be better colleagues to one another and better members of the community we serve. In these and other ways, Reynolds commits to creating a more inclusive and equitable institution for our faculty, staff, and students.
