MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (August 23, 2011) – Rasmussen College, a premier provider of career-focused higher education, is pleased to congratulate twelve of its top online students on successfully graduating from the Rasmussen College Leadership Academy.
The Leadership Academy at Rasmussen College consists of a group of hand-picked online degree seeking students. The Leadership Academy is reserved for students enrolled in Rasmussen College Online only, and students who are chosen for the academy learn the leadership skills necessary to be successful in their careers.
In order to be considered for selection, students must be with Rasmussen College for at least two full quarters and must have a G.P.A. of 3.25 or higher. Students must then apply for the academy, and a panel of Rasmussen College Online representatives makes the final selection. The group then meets every-other-week to learn from leadership experts and to hone the skills necessary for their future career success.
“These students represent some of the best and brightest future leaders that Rasmussen College has to offer,” President of Rasmussen College Kristi Waite said. “We are proud of their commitment and dedication to the program, and we congratulate them on all of their future successes.”
