MOKENA, Ill., (January 13, 2011) — Rasmussen College invites the community to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Mokena/Tinley Park campus on Friday, Jan. 28, at 11 a.m. The campus is one of 21 Rasmussen College locations across the country offering Bachelor’s and Associate’s degrees tailored to high-growth career fields. The indoor event will include a brief ceremony with light refreshments to follow. Featured speakers include Tom Slagle, CEO of Rasmussen College; Larry Walsh, Will County executive; and Joe Werner, mayor of Mokena.
Local resident Victoria Dooley will be recognized at the ceremony for her hard work and effort toward obtaining her Associate’s in Medical Assisting degree with the presentation of a $5,000 Rasmussen College 110th Anniversary Scholarship.
