Returning to Skywalker Ranch
The following is the official write-up from Jessup describing the annual trip to Skywalker Ranch. If you didn’t read my previous post, you can do so here. “Jessup University music students get to experience a

The Scandalous Abbey Road Studios Trip
When the Ruscica family wants to vacation in Europe, I convince Jessup to sponsor a trip to “evangelize” the continent, and the Abbey Road Studios trip was the result. I sold it as an opportunity

Nepotism within William Jessup University’s Music Program
I have never been accused of nepotism even though there is a wealth of evidence to support such a claim. My wife, Brandy, is an amazing entrepreneur who has used my connection with Jessup to

The Jessup Studio is a Joke

I like to take the UCO students to Skywalker Ranch once a year to record the choir and the lame songs I’ve chosen for them, but since I have absolutely no faith in the instrumental

The UCO is Dying
The picture above of the UCO is a blast from the past. A bygone day when I had a lot of students. Now, it’s just a glorified choir. It’s not even a full orchestra because

Tom Ruscica’s Favorite Jessup Music Students
It’s an open secret, but I only promote the students who help me in the UCO and brown-nose me endlessly, while demoting other students at will. Why? Simply because I can. I don’t hide the

Jessup Music Program is like Cotton Candy
Jessup promises the wind when it comes to their graduate degrees, but the music department degrees and concentrations are basically garbage. They are loosely based upon the curriculum of other much better schools. The university

Personal confession website
