The Institute of Business & Medical Careers is a school that is serious about life changing career education but we also know when to let our hair down and have a little bit of fun. Recently IBMC got a new jingle to help with our marketing efforts. The marketing team was very excited to introduce the jingle to the staff and students of IBMC so they wanted to present it in a creative way. What better way than to have a handful of students make a little music video?
Jesse, Rachele, Jolynne, Brittany, Jimmy, Christine deliver a break through performance in this video that is soon to be a hit all across the internet. And with only 3 minutes of rehearsal time! Be sure to push play and check out the new IBMC music video. You will be able to say you knew them before they were famous.

A few weeks back IBMC bought a Flip HD video camera to give to students with instructions to film their life inside and outside of IBMC. Annaliese is the first student in this new project. She is pursuing an Allied Health Degree in Medical Assisting at the Fort Collins campus. This video is the first in a series of video taken from the footage she shot.
Friday May 15, 2009 was a big day for IBMC, it was Graduation Day. Students, staff, friends, and family gathered at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins to celebrate the ending of a great chapter in the lives of IBMC students. That evening they proudly wore a cap and gown, sat on a stage for all to see, and received their degree or certificate.
The ceremony was just over an hour long and I will be sharing with you videos from the ceremony. Today is the first, IBMC’s CEO Richard Laub delivering a welcome speech to begin the ceremony.
