LISA MURILLO IS NO ORDINARY student. As a mother and grandmother, she may seem a bit older than other students, but she didn’t let that get in the way of earning her GED and serving as student speaker at Rio Salado’s GED Graduation in May.
“Going back to school as an adult learner requires creating new habits and breaking old ones,” Murillo said. “It takes focus and determination, but it can be accomplished with perseverance.”
At the age of 14, Murillo moved to Arizona from Los Angeles after her parents divorced. Two years later, she dropped out of high school when her mother moved back to California and she was forced to fend for herself.
She survived by finding employment at a tennis court where she performed routine
maintenance and cleaning. Murillo got married at the age of 18 and started a family soon after.
“I had always wanted my GED,”
Murillo said. “It was
something that I envisioned, but I had to
work to keep a roof over my
family’s head.”On top of her duties
as a parent, Murillo also worked as a payroll clerk for seven years.
“Numbers were always my forte,” said
Murillo, who was eager to get back into the classroom and use her number-crunching skills. “Through the GED program, I’m learning all new concepts that I never knew existed.”
Now that she has her GED, Murillo’s career goal is to earn an associate degree in dental office management by taking advantage of the IBEST program.
IBEST students take 24 credits of dental assisting technology classes in addition to contextualized GED instruction.
Murillo is proud of her accomplishments and is eager to share her success story with others. “Starting a new career with the right education is a life-changing experience. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made,” said Murillo.

2Ask a LibrarianThe Ask a Librarian services provide students with 24-hour access to a live librarian who can answer questions about online and in-person research tools, provide links to additional information and direct students to the proper resources.
“Rio students don’t always have a traditional schedule, so they love that there is a librarian on call 24/7,” said Karen Docherty, Rio Salado College librarian. “The chat service is designed to be convenient and easy to use. It doesn’t matter if it’s six in the morning before they go to work or 11 at night after they get the kids to bed. All that’s needed is a computer and Internet access to connect to the service and start chatting with a librarian.”
Txt a LibrarianStudents can also contact a librarian by SMS text message. The Txt a Librarian service uses a secure third party program to anonymously connect users with a Maricopa district librarian. When a student texts “RioLib” to 66746, their phone number is converted to a Rio Salado user ID that lets the librarian respond without viewing any personal information.
“Respecting the student’s privacy is really important to us,” said Rio Salado College librarian Janelle Underhill. “We want students to use these services with confidence. We want them to know that we aren’t collecting phone numbers or anything like that. Our only goal is to help students find the information they need.”
Online Writing Lab (OWL)In addition to 24-hour research assistance, Rio Salado students can also take advantage of the library’s online writing lab.
OWL provides students with a wealth of information, tips and tricks to help them write at a college level. The “Writing Rubric” section covers basic elements such as sentence structure, organization and content. Other sections like “General Writing” and “Critical Thinking” cover topics such as evaluating and citing sources, paraphrasing and quoting, as well as more advanced topics like analysis, inference, and reasoning.
How Do I? Video SeriesThere are also quite a few video tutorials available in the “How Do I?” section of the Rio Salado College Library web pages. The tutorials cover everything from basics like logging in or accessing an e-book to using library databases.
“The tutorial videos are a great tool to help students who prefer to do things independently,” Underhill said. “They walk the viewer step by step through each process. They’re very easy to follow.”
In-Class VisitsMany course instructors invite Rio Salado librarians to visit their classes and teach students how to formulate search strategies and to use library databases to find relevant and reliable journal, magazine, newspaper articles, books, and media (such as images and streaming films).

WHAT’S NEW AT RIO?
Learn Public Speaking Online Rio’s Public Speaking COM225 class uses interactive video and audio technology to engage students in preparing, developing and delivering multiple presentations.
Credit For What You Know Rio Salado College is working with the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) to help students earn college credit for what they already know! Students use an online process to demonstrate learning from prior experience including job skills, independent reading, military training, and more. Students’ knowledge is then evaluated by a college faculty member.
Maricopa Goes Smoke Free Beginning July 1, the Maricopa Community College properties will be smoke free and tobacco free, as part of the new BreatheEasy healthy-living initiative. To learn more visit wellness.maricopa.edu.
