Riverland welcomes new coaches to lead Blue Devils' volleyball and softball teams
Riverland Community College’s search for new volleyball and softball coaches successfully ended in time for the fall volleyball season.
Sara Heim, the new head coach for Volleyball, joins the coaching staff after graduating from Ripon College in Wisconsin in 2010 and assisting at Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC) last season.
Besides Heim, the Blue Devils hired former Austin softball coach Al Eckmann, who was the head coach at Austin for 14 years and finished his high school coaching career with a record of 220-80, along with three state championships and five state tournament appearances.
Riverland President's Column -- September 2011
We at Riverland Community College believe that success is a journey, not a goal. We measure success by building every-day successes that lead to happier and more productive lives for our students. That objective is integral in our new “Success Starts Here” campaign that officially kicked off this month.
Our new campaign is more than a slogan or tagline. We are providing a tangible and essential college experience by living that slogan as a philosophy for personal and professional growth.
Watch as we share the successes of our students in ways large and small. Every success deserves celebration, and we at Riverland Community College believe that all students who balance education with their busy lives truly understand that success starts here.
