CHANGE YOUR LIFE
RMU students love to show the world who they are and what they are capable of.
“I’m realistic with my players about their strengths and weaknesses. They may not understand what I’m saying or doing until five or ten years down the road. I always tell them, if you treat people well and if you work hard, you’ll have a good chance at being successful in anything you try.”Andy TooleHead Coach, Men’s Basketball
Sharpened by years of confidence-building experiences and competition in and out of the classroom, you will come away with a transformed vision of yourself as a single-minded and self-assured professional. You will think critically, make difficult decisions and feel the unique sense of pride and achievement that is the foundation of personal and professional fulfillment.
