My coworkers describe me as: Personable, organized, and collaborative.

What I like most about RMU: As an alum, I can confidently say that the staff at RMU are some of the most genuine people around. I was once a transfer student myself, and everyone at RMU made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The people here truly care about you and want to see you succeed!
Advice for prospective students: Tour different schools to see what you like best! Get out there, explore your options, and see what each school has to offer. Pay attention to the things that are important to you—academics, campus life, activities, sports, location, and the overall atmosphere. Most importantly, don’t feel pressured to choose a certain school just because your friends, teammates, or others are going there. Everyone’s path is different, and what works for someone else may not be the right fit for you.
