rpm: Why your kids should go to Virginia Tech
- 02/12/09 02:41 PM
Your kid is a junior in high school. This summer you'll be college shopping if you haven't already started. You know nothing about Virginia Tech but it should be on your list. Why?
We've got history. We were founded in Blacksburg, VA as Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, a land-grant military school, in 1872. Aside from Texas A&M, we're the only other non-military school in the country that has all four branches of the military still represented.

It was our first time at the Venetian/Palazzo and woah. Really nice. Though not quite as nice … (5 comments)

rpm: Why my major is great
- 11/11/08 07:13 AM
I talk to my friends and sorority sisters who are graduating this May and most of them say they're worried about finding a job after graduation. I can say that's one good thing about the change in Congress- no one will be able to afford their house so they'll come to me to rent!
No one in my major is worried about getting a job. Instead we're talking about the lowest salary we'll accept. The general consensus is no lower than $50,000 because a) we're studying subjects and techniques most people in our industry don't even see until they are … (3 comments)

rpm: VAMA Passport to Success Conference
- 03/20/08 02:23 PM
I'm pretty sure everyone knows me from my mom's blogs, but if not my name is Kat Malone and I am a junior at Virginia Tech in the Residential Property Management program. These past two days myself and two other students, Mike and Jessica, were chosen to represent the RPM program at the Virginia Apartment Management Association's (VAMA) Passport to Success conference in Richmond. We were invited by Renee Pulliam of S.L. Nusbaum, past president of VAMA. S.L. Nusbaum, who is on the RPM Advisory Board, paid for all of our expenses so we could make it to the conference. It … (13 comments)
