My Rasmussen College

We've Moved!

The main reason you have not seen a new post here in quite some time is because we have officially moved.

My Rasmussen College now resides here.

This move corresponds with a recent "soft launch" of three other Rasmussen College Sponsored Blogs:

Technology Musings by Jim McCormick
Healthy Communication by Bradley Moore
Justice Jargon by Carie Ann Potenza


Please note that the official launch of these blogs is scheduled for October 15th; we wanted to get feedback from our student body first before an official launch.

So check them out and let us know what you think!

A Blog Initiative: Rasmussen Sponsored Blogs

In about two weeks, Rasmussen College will be launching a new initiative termed Rasmussen Sponsored Blogs.  This will include a number of programmatic blogs for both students and faculty to enjoy.

We will start with three:

• A blog focused on Information Technology which will be authored by James McCormick.  He is the Department Chair of Technology and Information Management for Rasmussen College.
• A blog focused on Criminal Justice which will be authored by Carie Ann Potenza.  She is the Director of Crime Management for Rasmussen College.
• A blog focused on Allied Health & Nursing which will be authored by Bradley Moore.  He is the Director for the Allied Health & Nursing Programs at Rasmussen College.

In addition, we will continue to offer this blog and Rasmussen College Online. 

There are more blogs in the works including one devoted to our Internet Marketing Degree program.

Do you have an idea for a blog?  If you do, we’d love to hear from you.  Simply comment below or send us an email.

What the heck is a blog?

Are you scratching your head right now and asking "...what the heck is a blog?..."

Wikipedia defines a blog as:

“…a website where entries are written in chronological order and displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

In May 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 71 million blogs...”

Wow, that's a lot of blogs!

Why did we choose a blog to communicate what we’re doing in the Marketing Department at Rasmussen College, Inc.? 

It’s simple:

• With this format, you can share your ideas about new features and programs.
• This is the perfect platform to tell you about upcoming projects that will enhance your student life.
• It’s a great opportunity to have ongoing conversations with you to determine what we're doing right and what we could improve on.

Let us know what you think.
