Presenting the new IBMC Jingle…

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

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.

IBMC Staff Take Part in the Relay For Life

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Recently members of the IBMC staff took part in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

What is Relay For Life?

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment. (http://www.relayforlife.org/relay/whatisrelay#whatisrelay)

Check out these photos taken on that great day of  fun and fundraising:

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.

CEO Richard Laub Welcome Speech at the 73rd Commencement

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

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.

IBMC Blog Guy Visits The Greeley Campus

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

greeley campus IBMC Blog Guy Visits The Greeley Campus
My job as as IBMC’s Blog Guy is to blog about all of IBMC, not just the Fort Collins campus. But since I live in Fort Collins that is where I spend most of my time. And that is why most of the blog has been about the Fort Collins campus. Yesterday I made the drive south to IBMC’s Greeley campus.

I arrived at about 1:30 and Dale Meyer, the School Director gave me a tour and introduced me to staff and students. It is always nice to meet so many people but for me it is hard to remember all their names, hope they can cut me some slack on that one.

The afternoons are pretty quiet at the Greeley campus. Dale told me that most of the students attend morning and evening classes in Greeley. The afternoon is just Therapeutic Massage students. So at break time the student lounge was full of students in scrubs. (Are they still called scrubs when your a Massage Therapist?) That must be like going to school in your pajamas. And the student lounge had a few comfy leather couches. It is a wonder the students go back to class after flopping on those.

It was nice to finally see the Greeley campus. I need to go back in the morning when there are more students to be found. But I was able to get some good pictures of the campus. Expect a slide show.

IBMC students provide free chair massages to 9Health Fair volunteers

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Click here if your having trouble viewing this video.

IBMC students enrolled in the Theraputic Massage Program worked behind the scenes at the 9Health Fair offering free chair massage to those volunteering for the fair. This is what you call “win-win.” The students gain experience outside of the classroom and volunteers get to loosen up a few knots they gained while working the fair.

IBMC students volunteer their time at the 9Health Fair

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

When I visited the 9Health Fair on Saturday April 25th, I was surprised by the amount of people at the fair. So many that I had trouble finding a parking space. But the fair is such a great service to the citizens of Colorado it makes sense for so many to take advantage of it. And having so many people at the fair is also good for the IBMC students volunteering. Especially those in the Healthcare Programs.

Here is another short video of an IBMC student talking about her experience at the fair:
