WHO are we?

Residential Learning Center Consultants, or RLCCs (as they're affectionately known), are residents on the hill. They are mostly dual-position ORL staff (e.g. RA and RLCC).

WHAT do we do?

They are specially trained to give seminars and workshops related to technology that impact the UCLA residential community. RLCCs also put together events like the recently held 1st Annual Technology Fairand are responsible for bringing academic technology to their floors, buildings, and across the hill.

They helped to found the WIT (Women in Technology) ORL-sponsored student group last year. Please visit the WIT website for more details about them. WIT is now run by a board of WIT members, but the RLCCs still actively participate in their events and workshops.
