Employee Testimonials

Our employees love working for Rasmussen. We know because they tell us all the time. Below, you will find some testimonials from just a few of our employees.

“This is a fast-moving company that perfectly blends balance. There is a balance between working hard and having fun. There is a balance between family/personal life and work. There is a balance between being a corporation and being education minded. Mostly, I like the balance between growing a business and always being student-focused.”

Jay Hoffsetter
Director of Admissions

“Rasmussen College provides me the opportunity to encourage and help students who may not have the knowledge, or motivation to further their education. I was promoted to Director of Admission based on the success I had helping students enroll and change their future for the better. In my role of Director of Admissions, I now encourage and help develop strong leaders to carry on the tradition of quality education, service and a commitment to success.

Working with Rasmussen College has also reignited my passion for education by motivating me to take the next step on my educational path and pursue a Masters of Science Human Resource Management. I know that anyone who has the passion and drive to change their current situation, and are willing to invest in themselves can do it by furthering their education.”

Josette Mason
Recruiting Team Lead

“My journey with Rasmussen College began in September 2004 when I enrolled at the Pasco campus as a student in the Business Management Bachelors Degree. Shortly after I began school I had the opportunity to interview for a position in the admissions department. After my experience as a student I felt that everything Rasmussen College stood for was exactly what I stood for—honest, integrity, hard work and dedication. I felt that we would be a good fit so I became an employee on October 16, 2004 and have never looked back.

Through my years as an admissions representative, I have developed a deep love for what I do because I have the opportunity to affect the lives of many people. Some want to come to school to complement their work experience, some want to make a new change in their lives and the lives of their families. It is such an amazing feeling to watch the transition that people make through their education at Rasmussen College. Many people that I meet with are terrified and wondering if they are doing the right thing because they have had so many challenges in their lives and their confidence is low. It is like a seed that gets planted in the soil, and over the course of time the seed grows into a beautiful flower. They, my students, our students, through our help and guidance and dedication, get to achieve their goals and achieve that better life that they set out for. Rasmussen College is not only a college, but it is also a family that genuinely cares about its students, and I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to work for such an amazing organization.”
