Goodbye Indiana CRBC

Time at the Indiana Cambria-Rowe campus has come to an end for 11 of us. Together we started 18 months ago and together we are now leaving with a degree. We all experienced some sort of trial throughout our time here. We overcame the obstacles life threw at us. We became smarter, stronger, and proud of what we have become. We each are taking something unique with us.

"Be an optimist and every aspect of your life will become better."
~Ken Gardner

Watch the video below to hear what the May 2010 Graduates at the Indiana CRBC campus are leaving with...


CRBC... Fighting for Causes

CRBC campuses participate in fights for various causes. Most recently, Johnstown has been raising money for pregnancy and baby health; Indiana has been raising money for the fight against cancer.

JOHNSTOWN/MARCH OF DIMES

Johnstown participated in the March of Dimes walk on Sunday, May 2, at the Ferndale Elementary School. Shirts with CRBC on them and bracelets were sold with all proceeds going towards the March of Dimes.

INDIANA/"SCORE AGAINST CANCER"

The Indiana campus has taken on to help the fight against cancer. Through sells of candles, hanging baskets for Mother's Day, 9th Street Deli Tickets, a luncheon catered by its own CRBC students, and most recently its 3rd year in Relay for Life, SGAC members raised $1400. One student alone raised over $500!

"The
Relay for Life is a fun-filled, nation-wide event involving family, friends, and co-workers in a community effort to raise funds for the fight against cancer. It represents our hope that those lost to cancer will not be forgotten; that those battling cancer will be supported; and that someday cancer will be eliminated. Most importantly, it is a celebration of hope for those who have survived cancer."
-Beth Nedresky, Vice President, SGAC

First Term Perspectives

The spring term is coming to a close and with it are fresh perspectives.
Read below and see what some of the Indiana Campus first term students are saying.

“Stacey told me that all the teachers would be very helpful and help all the students to feel at home. That was beyond the truth. All the teachers, students, and staff have been wonderful. I honestly didn’t expect that every teacher would make learning so much fun.”
-Alesha Firestone

It is way more than I expected. The classes are straight and to the point…secondary schools take a lot more time and teach things that you probably won’t use in a future job.”
-Lauren Shirley

“I like the fact that there is such a bond between students and between the students and teachers.”
-Tammy Oskey

“I personally am doing a lot better academically than I ever thought I would. I put that down to the encouragement that is enforced in each class."
-Sue Jablunovsky

“Everything and everyone have been helpful and easy to talk to.”
-Amanda Crowe
