Complete your personal statement on EXXAT. Use this space to not only make a professional statement, but add some detail to make it personal. This will be viewed by preceptors and is a small way for them to get to know you. [Personal Statement Examples]

FACILITIES
Parking in the shade may be appealing, but every time you park outside of Noorda-COM delegated parking, you:
- Risk getting fined
- Take an RMU student’s parking spot
- Affect the number of stalls at our future campus
Facilities makes daily trips to count the number of occupied parking stalls at Buildings 1, 4, and 5. Please park in our delegated areas. This will ensure that we correctly estimate the number of parking stalls needed at our future campus.
STUDENT AFFAIRS
Keep an eye out for an email about the “Be the Match” bone marrow donor registration drive. More details to come soon!
Get excited for fall. The first day of autumn is in 10 days – celebrate it at Autumn Craft Night tonight. [More Details]
LEARNING SERVICES
