RHCFA T-Shirt Design Contest: Call for Entries!
We are thrilled to announce our T-shirt design contest and invite you to put your creativity to work! This is more than just a shirt—it’s an opportunity to showcase the incredible talent within our Rio Hondo community while celebrating the accomplishments of the Rio Hondo College Faculty Association (RHCFA) over the past year. We want a design that reflects our collective pride, strength, and solidarity, while also highlighting the vibrant spirit of our campus. Let your imagination shine as you create something that represents both our achievements and our commitment to one another. The winning design will be printed on t-shirts distributed to over 300 RHCFA members this fall.
