SGAC Fundraisers - Johnstown Campus

Recently, the Johnstown campus of Cambria-Rowe Business College held two fundraisers that were a huge success. These fundraisers helped raise over $300.00 for the Epilepsy Foundation. The money raised will remain in Pennsylvania and do to the local branches of the Epilepsy Foundation that serve the approximately 98,000 people in our region that have epilepsy.

The first fundraiser was a sub and pizza sale. The second fundraiser was a picnic held at the Johnstown campus of Cambria-Rowe Business College on Thursday, August 19 in the school courtyard. For $2.00, students had a chance to dunk Mr. Tamm (instructor) or Mrs. Seidel (Director of Education) in the dunking booth. Picnic food was provided by the CRBC Cafe for students, faculty and staff. An SGAC (Student Group Activities Committee) information table was set up where bake goods were sold that were provided by students, faculty and staff.

It was a fun-filled day that raised alot of money for a great cause!

Final Perspectives - Indiana Summer 2010

The end of the Summer term is quickly approaching. Many graduates look back and reflect on how much they have learned and where this journey has taken them. Good luck to the graduates of Cambria-Rowe!


I came to Cambria-Rowe Business College to obtain a degree in Management, but I accomplished a lot more than that!! I have learned how to function in a diverse team environment and use my leadership abilities. I have made many life long friends along my journey that made the experience amazing. CRBC has an awesome support team that encouraged me along the way. The 4 day class schedule gave me the flexibility to spend time with my family too. I will never forget the encouraging and patient instructors. Good luck to all future CRBC graduates!

Rhonda M. Anderson - Associate in Specialized Business:

Managment

It's amazing to think how much I have learned in 18 short months. CRBC has equipped me with the knowledge and skills that will serve me well in the medical administration field. I now have the confidence to pursue my goals. I have a great sense of accomplishment. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my time at CRBC and my attendance record was 99.9%. I also had the honor to be selected as the Future Employee of the Month for June 2010 by the faculty and staff. The greatest thing that I will take with me are the lasting friendships with students, faculty, and staff. These are sure to be friendships that will last a lifetime!

Sheryl Bungo - Associate in Specialized Business:
Medical Office Administration

I loved CRBC!!! I am so glad that I chose Cambria-Rowe Business College to further my education. I feel CRBC gave me more than my expectations desired. The staff and teachers are amazing and everyone is here to help you. I came to the campus not knowing one single person and now I'm leaving with lifelong friends.

Joy Keith - Associate in Specialized Business:

Accounting

Cambria-Rowe has brought me so many memories that I will take with me for the rest of my life. The staff and faculty have become like family! With their help and encouragement I have succeeded. The environment and positive attitudes have made it easy to come to CRBC everyday. As I go into the workplace I know that I have the skills that are desired and required in today's workforce thanks to CRBC. I cannot stress how much I appreciate all the people that have helped me with this journey.

Beth Nedresky - Associate in Specialized Business:

Medical Office Administration

Coming to CRBC was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I have made some of the best friends including Beth Nedresky, Joy Keith, Rhonda Anderson, and Sheryl Bungo, all of whom I will be lifelong friends with. I accomplished more than I imagined I would like getting straight A's, achieving a 99.8 % attendance record, being voted as the SGAC President, volunteering my time in school and in the outside community, raising money for charities such as Autism Awareness, Relay for Life, and the Back to School Bash, and also being chosen for the Future Employee of the Month Award. I will take away more than an Associate's in Specialized Business degree from CRBC, I'm taking away a sense of pride that I didn't have before coming here.
