Take A Gllosetr Look liktcm . . . The Involvement at Rockford College: Student involvement makes college life exciting. Activities outside the classroom can be as educating as those inside, and they can be just as rewarding. Rockford College has such a large range of activities, from campus jobs to clubs to communications, that anyone can find an organization in which their talents can be put to good use. Getting involved in school organizations can provide a student with a stronger sense of accomplishment than classroom achievement at times, because the student chooses to get involved in an activity, whereas classroom projects are required. Involvement in areas outside of the classroom helps to provide a student with a complete and fulfilling college experience. xslt ie? Xi! as 12 A Closer Look 3
