Don’t Be a Social Loafer

Group projects: love them or hate them, they’re part of the package here at RSBC. It’s a point of pride for us, because there’s good research to back up the benefits, including practice with teamwork, time management, and communication skills – all skills that you need in order to succeed in the workforce.

Putting Your Skills to Work

It’s why you’re here. It’s the reason you’re putting in hundreds of hours of classwork, homework, and networking. Also group projects – everyone loves those.

A Job: as an undergraduate student it can seem unreal – far in the future and totally confusing. But it’s closer than you think, and in some cases can even count as credit toward your degree.

August is the perfect time to focus on internships, resume building, and jobs. The beginning of the fall semester presents a variety of opportunities and support that can help position you among the majority of RSBC alumni with a job in their field waiting for them at graduation.
