Coach Jexx told me that the softball team was like a family and that is exactly what I've been looking for. An opportunity to play the game I love while being a part of something bigger, a family. This means so much to me, especially since I will be eight hours away from home. At the camp, I also felt a real connection with the girls; they made me feel valued and welcomed. RMU is a beautiful campus. As I participated in the admissions tour, it had a very focused business program. I have decided I want to major in business and RMU will provide me with the guidance to accomplish this goal." – Taylor Ryan
