The RP Group

 Regional Research Group Overview

Regional Research Groups offer in-person and virtual meetings throughout the state, focused on the latest institutional research and planning issues and developments taking place in California and beyond. These gatherings foster knowledge sharing and best practice exchanges and offer an environment for networking and relationship building in your region. Hosts develop agenda items in response to local interests and current issues in the CCC system, including RP Group updates when available. Learn more about the role of Regional Research Group Coordinators.


Regional Research Group Roots

These groups stem from the Los Angeles area's CAMP Research Group, established in 2001 and named after its founding members — College of the Canyons, Antelope Valley College, Mt. San Antonio College, Pasadena City College, and Rio Hondo College. As the success of CAMP spread, our board members liked the idea and began organizing additional regional groups across the state.
