I am impressed with how RSM colleagues engage in courageous conversations, whether people are sharing challenges or aspirations balanced against their work and their life goals.
We are proud of and inspired by our alum and their accomplishments. Through the lens of our alums, we learn more about their time at RSM, their career journeys post-RSM, and stories of alums whose career path brought them back to RSM through our Alumni Spotlight series.
