To all Freshmen, welcome to Robert Morris University, and congratulations on becoming a colonial! You have made an excellent choice. RMU is not too small nor too big and yet, we have the resources of a large world class university.
We have a rich student life with 121 student organizations so that every student can be a part of a diverse campus life. The administration and the faculty has a strong commitment to student success and to the community.
The next four years will be filled with adventure, excitement, and growth. Do not take one moment for granted. Challenge and push yourself to achieve. Squeeze every experience like a sponge and use that to improve yourself.
I consider myself very lucky to study here. Allow me to take you on a tour of the beautiful RMU campus.
Sewall Center
Named after Charles Sewall (RMU's 5th president), this is one of the most iconic building in our campus. However, it will be demolished in Mid September to make way for the UPMC Events Center and People's Court which is expected to be completed in 2019.

This is the home of the RMU Football Team and where most athletic events take place.
