Welcome Back!
Welcome back, Rush! Let me be one of the first to welcome the class of 2013! Make sure you guys register for the website as soon as your Rush email is working and don't forget to join the Class of 2013 group when you register. No worries if you forget though, since you can always join later.
Since we've added a bunch of great new features over the summer, I'm going to go ahead and do a brief tour that will introduce everyone to the exciting stuff now available on our website. RMstudents really has a lot to offer students in many areas of life at Rush. Read More »

Creating Pages vs Stories: It's not just semantics
Sun, 01/27/2008 - 11:54pm — adminI wanted to mention the difference between creating a Page and a Story. For the most part, Pages are meant to be more static information [about your group] (for example what your group is about or background on a project you guys do every year). Stories should usually be about more dynamic material (for example, the dates of a project you're working on for this year, or news for your group, or something your classmates might find useful).

Winter Qtr 2008 schedule for Class of 2011
RMStudents is hosting the schedule/calendar for Class of 2011's Winter 2008 quarter. There was a similar calendar up for the Fall quarter. If any of you use Gmail or Outlook or iCal, this is a very easy and very helpful way to keep track of your classes.
Do not just click on the link, unless you plan on using Microsoft Outlook. If you want to use this with Google Calendar, follow the instructions below. If someone can e-mail me the instructions for iCal (all typed up) I can paste that into here for Mac users. Thanks. Read More »
Welcome
Welcome to RMstudents.com. First and foremost, if you're looking for content from the old version of this site, it can be found in some form here: http://old.rmstudents.com . (I apologize for the somewhat broken pages. They're part of the moving process and we're working on resolving it) If you've got a question, comment, concern, or idea, let us know (admin {at} rmstudents {dot} com for unregistered users)! There will be much more information on how to start using this new site in the next few weeks. Enjoy and we hope to see you back!
Please leave comments!

Join your class groups!
Thu, 10/25/2007 - 4:53pm — jblackhallFor those of you who have registered with RMstudents, go to the Groups Directory and make sure that you've joined (subscribed to) your class group (e.g. Class of 2011). If there is a link in the "Subscribe" column next to your class, click on it to join your classmates. Otherwise you may miss out on material that other classmates post for you. Some of you have already done this when registering for an account, but most people didn't.
Joining a Group
Thu, 10/25/2007 - 4:40pm — adminJoining a group on this website is actually pretty easy. Once you're logged in, simply head over the the Groups Directory, find the group(s) you'd like to join, and click "Join" on the far right. You'll be asked to confirm the action on the next page. There, that was easy, now wasn't it?
Creating a Group
Thu, 10/25/2007 - 12:22pm — jblackhallIf you would like people to be able to join your group on RMstudents, you'll first need to create one for them to join. To create a group:
- Click on "Create Content" on the left sidebar. Then click on "Group".
- Make a name for your group. Try to keep it short and sweet. Example's: AMSA, Class of 2011, Jimbo's Study Group.
- Write a brief description of your group. This will show up in the Groups Directory.
- Choose a Group Type. Clubs are for interest groups, organizations, and other student clubs. Study groups are groups of people who want to study together or share information. They can be centered around a subject (Anatomy study group) or around a person (Jimbo's study group). Personal groups are for groups of friends. Graduating classes should be created by administrators only.
- Choose how people will join your group. Options are "open" (anyone can join just by clicking subscribe on the Group Directory), "moderated" (anyone can request to be in a group, but this request must be approved by the group owner [which is the person creating the group, meaning you!]), "invite only" (you or an administrator must invite people for them to join, but people can leave the group whenever they want), and "closed" (you or an administrator only have control over who is added to or removed from a group; not recommended).
- Questions? Contact us.
