"RMU doesn't just graduate people; RMU graduates leaders. The positive impact RMU has had on the region is visible through the placement rate of its graduates and the number who remain in the region to become business and community leaders.
"But more than the facts and figures, it's the personal stories of success that make me a believer in the power of RMU to help us enrich our communities and make even greater contributions to the world around us."

"At Robert Morris, you don't just get book learning. You learn to be a civic leader.
"People come out of Robert Morris, and you know they'll get a good job. I'm always running into people who tell me, 'You know, I went to Robert Morris.' And these are people who have gone on to have careers worldwide. But they got their base right here.
"I choose to support Robert Morris University because I only invest where I feel there is a real sense of purpose. And, at RMU, I see people who are trying to do the right thing."

"RMU gives you a whole new set of options for your future. Robert Morris University provided me with a foundation I've been able to draw from throughout my lifetime. And I got as much, or more, from my liberal arts courses as I did from my business classes.
"It's so much more than a professional education. It's an education that opens your mind to new perspectives and allows you to chart a whole new path for personal and professional success.
"That's why I believe in RMU and why I believe it's so important to nurture this institution so it can keep on changing lives and building futures for a new generation."
Gregory Dell'Omo, Robert Morris University President
"You know that going back to college to finish your degree is probably the best way for you to get a great education and an even greater career going forward. But more than that, when you go back to the classroom, you may very well find that you become the person you've always wanted to be.
"In today's world, we no longer have one or two jobs in our lifetime. We're going to have seven or eight jobs and maybe even three or four different careers in the course of lives.
"Robert Morris does more than train you in how to get a better job. We educate our students for a lifetime of career change and for a lifetime of enrichment and contribution."
Dan Onorato, Allegheny County Chief Executive
"It's a very positive sign when institutions such as Robert Morris University invest in downtown development and expand access to high-quality education."
