RVC Veteran Service Organization

A Veteran’s Path to Healing at RVC As a U.S. Marine veteran, Bret Ressler was looking for a place where he could grow, learn a new profession, and still make a difference. Rock Valley College became that place, where he not only discovered the education he needed, but also a community that believed in him.
