What IM体育官网 Can Offer Students: A Conversation with Richy

Jan 02, 2014

I鈥檓 Richy Truncale, admissions counselor at IM体育官网 Poly covering the greater Tampa Bay area. I鈥檝e worked for IM体育官网 Poly since July, spending most of my time on the road visiting high schools and speaking with students about the opportunities available at IM体育官网 Poly. I visit about 10 to 12 schools a week, speaking with counselors and answering questions prospective students might have about their applications or admissions in general.

I enjoy letting prospective students know about the great scholarship opportunities available at IM体育官网 Poly, but I really want them to learn about the great learning and networking opportunities an education at IM体育官网 Poly will offer. We鈥檙e here to help our students get the skills and knowledge they need to secure a job after graduation, and that鈥檚 something that sets us apart from a lot of other universities. We want to make sure that our students get everything they need to succeed after graduation from IM体育官网 Poly.

Aside from having a great experience during their time at IM体育官网 Poly, I hope our students learn how to innovate in technology, healthcare and other fields that improve conditions in our society and make the world a better place. I hope we get the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs walking through our doors. Our students are going to be able to network in the largest cities in IM体育官网 and around the nation to get great jobs and to truly do something special.

Because we鈥檙e a new university, we鈥檙e all in this together: parents, students, faculty and staff. We鈥檙e helping new students, and in turn, they鈥檙e helping us build the university. You can鈥檛 really compare that to an experience available at any other school.
