Building a Stronger Campus Community

Under the leadership of President Dr. Coretta Boykin, Reid Ride was created to enrich the residential student experience and foster deeper connections between Reid State and the City of Evergreen.

"Reid Ride gives students a practical way to reach nearby destinations while enjoying fresh air, sunshine, and physical activity. We are excited to launch this pilot program and grateful to All In Credit Union for helping us make this vision a reality."Dr. Coretta Boykin, President

 

Looking to the Future
