As Juan Sabastian Armas ’23 studies for his M.B.A. in Sport Management at Escuela Universitaria Real Madrid Universidad Europea in Madrid, Spain, and interns with an international soccer club, he reflects on the mentorship he received at Caldwell University as an undergraduate. “I’m constantly reminded of the invaluable guidance I received from my professors at Caldwell and my advisor, Professor [Neil] Malvone,” said Armas, who earned a B.S. in Sport Management from Caldwell. Armas is currently taking courses in general management, data entry, and facility management, with a primary focus on soccer. He has been happy to have the chance to attend Real Madrid games in Spain. “This journey is life-changing, and I often find myself reflecting on everything Caldwell has done for me.” He is grateful for the experiential learning opportunities he enjoyed through internships at Caldwell and his work-study position in the School of Education. “These experiences have allowed me to build a strong network and connections in the sports and professional industry. Without these experiences and the sports internships, I don’t think I would be where I am today, and for that, I am truly thankful,” said Armas, who was inducted into the International Business Honor Society, Delta Mu Honor Society, at Caldwell’s Honors Convocation last spring. He graduated magna cum laude and earned the highest GPA in his graduating class in the sports management academic program. Debbie Giordano, staff member in the School of Education, said the employees in the School of Education appreciated Armas’ hard work and reliance. “Whenever anything was needed, he was there. He became a very important and special part of our team.” Virginia Rich, the associate dean of the School of Business and Computer Science, appreciates the opportunity and support the School of Education provided to Juan during his studies at Caldwell. “I’m proud that his education and experiential learning allowed him to move forward to graduate studies in Spain. His positive experiences at our University are what we try to provide for all our students, every day.” Malvone is very pleased that Armas is in an M.B.A. program in Spain where the curriculum is based on the work of the Real Madrid Football Club and the instructors are executives and business partners of the club. “Juan is immersed in real hands-on experience…he has met with media partners, sponsors, players and team leaders. This type of learning exposes Juan to the billion-dollar soccer industry with his ultimate goal to work for an international soccer club when he completes the program,” said Malvone.

Walking through a college fair as a high school junior can feel overwhelming. Every school promises opportunity, success, and a bright future. The challenge isn’t finding options — it’s figuring out which places will actually help you turn your interests into something real. Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is different because it’s built for students who want to do, not just study. From day one, RIT connects learning to experience, helping students explore what they care about and how it shows up in the real world. At RIT, the question isn’t just w hat do you want to major in? It’s what do you want to build, solve, design, or change? Learning That Goes Beyond the Classroom RIT is nationally recognized for its hands-on approach to education. Classes don’t stop at lectures and exams — they extend into labs, studios, maker spaces, research projects, and team-based challenges that mirror real work environments. One of the biggest reasons students choose RIT is its renowned cooperative education (co-op) program. Co-ops are paid, full-time professional work experiences tied directly to a student’s major. Many RIT students complete more than one co-op before graduating, working with employers across industries and around the world. This matters because experience changes everything. It helps students test careers, build confidence, and graduate with a stronger sense of direction. You don’t have to have your entire future mapped out right now — RIT gives you space to explore, pivot, and refine your goals without losing momentum. Majors Designed for What’s Next RIT offers more than 200 academic programs across computing, engineering, science, design, business, health sciences, and the liberal arts. Many of these programs live at the intersection of disciplines — where innovation happens. Think technology and design. Engineering and sustainability. Computing and creativity. This interdisciplinary mindset prepares students for careers that don’t always fit neatly into one category. Faculty bring industry experience into the classroom, connecting theory to real-world application and emerging trends. Students graduate with skills that adapt as industries evolve. Finding Your People College is about more than classes — it’s about belonging. RIT’s campus is home to hundreds of student organizations, including competition teams, cultural groups, research labs, performing arts ensembles, club and varsity sports, and student-run organizations. Many students find community by working together toward shared goals — building, creating, competing, and collaborating. RIT is also known for its leadership in accessibility and inclusion. The National Technical Institute for the Deaf is located on campus, and access is built into everyday campus life. This creates a culture where communication, respect, and individuality matter. The result is a community that values curiosity, creativity, and collaboration — and where students are encouraged to be themselves. Outcomes That Matter College is an investment, and outcomes count. RIT graduates are recruited by top employers, accepted into competitive graduate programs, and often receive job offers connected to their co-op experiences. Others use their hands-on background to launch startups, pursue research, or explore new paths. Just as important, RIT students graduate knowing how to adapt. They’ve learned how to solve problems, work in teams, and apply knowledge in real situations — skills that matter no matter where the future leads. Start by Seeing It for Yourself As a high school junior, you don’t need all the answers yet. What you can choose is a college that will challenge you, support you, and prepare you for what comes next — even if that changes along the way. RIT is a place for students who want to learn by doing, ask smart questions, and turn ideas into action. The best way to understand what that feels like is to experience it yourself. Visit RIT There’s no better way to see if RIT is the right fit than visiting campus. Explore labs and studios, connect with current students, and get a feel for life at RIT — either in person or virtually.
