to come up with innovative ways to

relay the course materials.

George believes that all his

students can succeed. As long as they

keep up with their assignments, there

is no other possible outcome!

Interesting Fact:

George was born in Poland, lived in

France, and came to the U.S. with his

family when he was 12 years old. He

can speak fluent Polish, French, and

English, and has also studied Russian

and Spanish.

experience out of his head. He began

searching for a full time teaching

position. So his journey for fulfillment

led him to Rasmussen College.

How is life at Rasmussen?

The variety and diversity of the

courses he teaches helps keep George

motivated and keeps his job exciting.

He loves working with the students

and getting to meet new and different

people from all walks of life. George

says, Its a beautiful and amazing joy

to interact with others while enriching

their lives at the same time they are

enriching yours. Georg e reflects on

the fact that Rasmussen has such a

diverse student body with students of

all ages and educational backgrounds

that it can sometimes be a struggle

to figure out how to teach course

materials in a way that all students

can comprehend. He works diligently

Why did you become a teacher?

George started his career working

as a Systems Librarian at Harvard

University. He then worked for several

computer companies in the Boston

area before moving to Minnesota for a

position with 3M Company, where he

was a manager in the IT department.

Although he enjoyed working with

computers he knew something was

missing. He had gotten a taste of

teaching while in graduate school as a

teaching fellow in math, and also as a

trainer for two years while working for

a computer company.

After some years in his computer

career, he desired a change.

Although he enjoyed his position, he

still felt a void every day. He did a lot

of soul searching, and weighing his

options. George decided that after

all is said and done he couldnt get

his previous teaching and training

The most important thing as

a teacher is to be aware at all

times of how your students

are reacting to what is being

presented, discussed or

worked on. (George Alland)
