Since its first publication in Spring 1989, RC Quarterly has served as Robert College’s magazine for alumni and friends of the school, a steady point of connection across generations and geographies. Today, it reaches a readership that spans decades and continents, from recent graduates to more senior alumni, reflecting the breadth and continuity of the RC community.
Launched as a medium to keep alumni up to date on life at Robert College and to share news from classmates and fellow community members, RC Quarterly has remained true to its original purpose. In the opening issue in 1989, founding Editor-in-Chief Leyla Edin Aktay RC 72 wrote: “The goals of this publication are to continue to promote the RC spirit, to keep us all informed of what everyone is up to and of where the school stands today.” That clarity of intent continues to guide the publication.
Over the years, RC Quarterly has brought together campus updates, alumni accomplishments, interviews, and stories that reflect both individual journeys and shared identity. Produced by the Institutional Advancement (IA) Office under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief M. Yıldız Günay Director of IA, and shaped by an editorial board of alumni, the magazine balances continuity with fresh perspectives across generations.
As the school’s longest-running continuous alumni publication, RC Quarterly continues in print while being further enriched by its digital platform. Designed to offer more timely and accessible content, www.rcquarterly.com provides space for more frequent updates – from campus developments to alumni news and upcoming events – extending the publication’s role as a shared platform for ReConnection.
We invite you to visit this platform regularly to explore new stories and updates from across the RC community.
