Your Life as a Phoenix
What does it mean to be a Phoenix? We are the risers. The ones who know that if we want it, we have to go out and get it. We give blood, sweat, and sometimes tears. We are sculpted by adversity. We are made from desire and a dream, but we leave nothing up to fate. We have the skill, and we have the will. And we will not let ourselves be ignored.
More than Brains
VO: Life’s short, talk is cheap. I’ll be working while you sleep.
VO: Still don’t think I’ve got a brain?
VO: You can try, I’ll do it faster. I was born a multi-tasker. I was raised against the grain.
VO: I took the two bullets in the chest. Got three kids, I never rest…And I’ve also got a brain.
VO: You think a resume’s enough? Who’ll step up when things get tough? Don’t you want that kind of brain?
VO: A degree is a degree. You’re gonna want someone like me.
VO: But only if you have a brain.
SUPER: WE RISE

See our new online classroom
00:00:08 It has everything I need to be a more successful student, including giving me more ways to learn and more ways to connect with my instructor and classmates.
00:00:17 For example, on my home page, I can see this week's assignments and learning activities, the latest news from my instructor, and updates from class discussions.
00:00:27 The syllabus helps me stay organized and on top of my assignments.
00:00:31 It tracks my progress through the course.
00:00:33 I can check week by week and look ahead to see what's coming.
00:00:37 It's easy to check out my assignments.
00:00:39 I can view instructions, submit files, and get up-to-the-minute feedback from my instructor.
00:00:44 I can even locate helpful resources.
00:00:47 I can pick my own way to learn because the new classroom has a lot of different interactive learning activities, like this video, which I can play right in the classroom.
00:00:57 The class roster helps me stay in touch with my classmates.
00:01:00 It tells me right away who my classmates are, if they are online, and how I can reach them.
00:01:06 My chat tool lets me work with my classmates and my learning team without leaving the classroom, and I can even chat with my entire class through the group chat feature.
00:01:15 Since my calendar is synced to my syllabus, I always know when assignments or activities are due.
00:01:22 The new classroom even has a great mobile app that lets me study and stay in touch with my instructor and classmates.
