Many schools are also finding that the educational process doesn't end when students graduate. Like Papu Rincon, many students maintain relations after gradua- tion. MSU's Scott Bryant says, "This is anecdotal, but it seems like we have a lot of grads coming back for a second degree in business, or just to take specific classes." Karen Beiser of Rocky Mountain College says she often talks with one of her former students who is now a contractor. "He often tells me how often he uses what he learned in my classes. I tell him, 'See! We weren't just try- ing to torture you.'"
