A Caribbean island known for its natural beauty
You can hike all day through mountainous rainforest without meeting another soul and snorkel with friends in sight of black-sand beaches. There are no traffic lights or traffic jams (except for the occasional goat). And life in a developing country teaches you patience and flexibility, and what matters most. HOME LIFE >>
A university that supports personal and professional development
Students learn best from professors who are themselves learning and growing, which is why RUSM invests in programs and initiatives to help faculty members and their families pursue their interests and advance their careers. WORK LIFE >>
