Next on Real Life...
Im back! Its been a long week trying to teach Dog the Soulja Boy dance, but I think he may finally have it down. He said it was easier when he actually got up and danced with me rather than just watching me do the steps. Im the same in that aspect, I do better with "real-life" training.
Anyone whose ever looked into colleges has heard the term hands-on experience, but what exactly does that mean? Well it means that you will be doing real-life things that will help you better understand what you are learning in class. You wont just read about it in your text book, you will actually do whatever it is you are learning.
An example of hands-on training is clearly demonstrated in one of RMC's English classes. In this class student are required to use both their written and oral skills to raise awareness and funds for an actual foundation. Students are required to write memos and letters to ask businesses within the community for donations or to make any other contributions. The students host functions, hold silent auctions, sell candy bars and raffle tickets, and do many other things to raise money. They are to raise as much money as possible and in the end they present their success to their classmates. Students not only learn how to communicate effectively, but they learn how to use it in a real world situation. An added bonus is that they realize the importance of getting involved within the community. Talk about real-world experience!
You can also find examples of this in our School of Nuring and Health Studies. Our students not only learn from their text books but they also learn by doing. Students are taught what to do in real-life situations in our Medical Assisting lab, Nursing lab, and Surgical Technology Operating Room.
Our Study Abroad programs offer another great example of real-world experiences. Students not only study, but they live in another country. Our Hospitality Management students have the opportunity to travel to Italy and study cooking at the Apicius Culinary Institute of Florence for ten weeks. Our Computer students can study at the G18 Technical College in Hamburg, Germany for five weeks. Our Art students can study at the Florence University of Arts for six weeks. Students can also study in London, Madrid, or Austria. (robertmorris.edu/studyabroad).
In fact, all the classes at RMC involve some sort of real-life training. It really makes that transisition into your career that much easier.

Hey Everyone!
This is my first time blogging so bear with me. I’ve decided to write a blog about RMC and college in general. Going to college is a big deal and choosing the college that fits you is even more important. I’m hoping that with my help choosing a college will be a little bit easier for you.
First, let me start out by introducing myself. My name is Eagle. I was hatched in Chicago in 1913. I now have 7 different homes, which include Chicago, Bensenville, DuPage, Lake County, Orland Park, Peoria, and Springfield. You may know me from my friend Joey’s Myspace page www.myspace.com/robertmorriscollege. You should go check it out. It has a lot of pictures of me and all my friends here at RMC. Or maybe you recognize me from my work on www.2d4y.com. I’m still trying to show that Dog how to dance. He still won’t tell us why he ran from that cop.
Anyways, for my first blog there are just a few things that I would like to share with you. RMC has some events coming up in January that are important for you to know about, especially if you are interested in attending RMC.
On Wednesday, January 23, 2008 at 6:00pm RMC is hosting a Pharmacy Technology Open House. It’s only at the Chicago Campus, but if you are interested in Pharmacy Technology this is the place to be on the 23rd. You can RSVP online www.robertmorris.edu/rsvp/openhouse.
RMC is also hosting their Financial Aid Night at all of their campuses on Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 6:00pm. The Financial Aid night is for all High School Seniors and their parents. They will be going over all sorts of Financial Aid topics. How to apply for financial aid? What the difference is between public versus private tuition? How to afford a college education? Where to look for funding? Bring last year’s tax forms and we'll help you fill out your FAFSA. If you are interested in attending on the 24th please RSVP online at www.robertmorris.edu/rsvp/fanight.
