RDC to become Red Deer University
It’s official. Red Deer College will soon be known as Red Deer University.
The official announcement was made Tuesday morning, one year after the provincial government gave college the long-awaited green light to seek university status, that RDC will become RDU once its transition is complete.
And while the new name may seem like an obvious choice from the start it was chosen after months of community consultations, research and visioning involving nearly 400 people from Red Deer, Ponoka, Stettler and Rocky Mountain House. Officials say the process was designed to help RDC learn exactly what the college means to those it serves.
