Rappahannock Community College (RCC) has announced that the offering of the Rappahannock Institute for Lifelong Learning (RILL) program will be available in New Kent beginning this spring.

The program is designed to be a life-enriching and thought-provoking noncredit college-level course to appeal to a variety of interests. Subjects covered include historical and archeological courses, social sciences, musical and literary cultures, and more.

Courses will also revolve around many locations in New Kent. The first entitled “A Magical History Tour of New Kent County” will be held on Apr. 7, Apr. 14, and Apr. 21 from 1-3 p.m. at RCC New Kent campus, Cumberland Plantation, and St. Peter’s Church. Other courses include the history of New Kent High School and the landmark case of Green vs. Board of Education that went to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1968.

Advance registration with a tuition payment of $35 is required to take the course. For more information, contact Sharon Drotleff at (804) 333-6707 or by email at sdrotleff@rappahannock.edu.
