Cosumnes River College Recruiting Central
What Makes CRC Special?
Cosumnes River College in Sacramento, CA has a reputation for really connecting with its students. If you think big colleges are distant and impersonal, you just haven't discovered CRC. Hear students, staff, faculty and administrators explain just what makes this two-year community college a one-of-a-kind place to get an education. The video was shot by two students in the CRC Radio, TV and Film Production Department using HD cameras and a jib boom. RTVF Professor Gary Martin produced this video that features a rendition of the college's spirit song, "Fight on Cosumnes."
