(CHICAGO – September 6, 2005) Argosy University announced today
that it will assist students from universities in New Orleans,
southern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama universities, which
have been closed for the foreseeable future due to the
devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Argosy University will make available both on-campus and online
courses that might be able to permit dislocated students to
progress in their academic careers during this semester of
disruption. Students at a university forced to close by
Hurricane Katrina may register at any of Argosy University’s 13
campuses across the nation for courses, on a space-available
basis, for the fall terms.

Argosy University will waive tuition for dislocated students
who have already registered and paid tuition at their home
institution for the fall 2005 semester. If dislocated students
have not yet paid their tuition at their home institution, they
will be assessed the lesser of the current published tuition and
fees at the home institution, or Argosy University’s published
tuition and fees, as determined by the Argosy University campus
president.

“Argosy University acted today by offering educational
assistance to college students impacted by Hurricane Katrina,”
says Dr. Gregory O’Brien, president of Argosy University.
“Argosy University is concerned for the well-being of these
students, and this initiative is our way of reaching out with
compassion and benevolence to those affected. We pledge to do
all that we can to assist college students in the Gulf Coast
region to continue their education and continue in their lives.”

According to the American Council on Education, more than 30
colleges and universities in the Gulf Coast region have been
severely damaged by the hurricane, and possibly 100,000 students
have been displaced from their schools.

Argosy University offers doctoral, masters, and undergraduate
degree programs in psychology, counseling, education, business,
information technology, and organizational leadership. Doctoral
degree programs in clinical psychology (accredited by the
American Psychological Association), are available at several
Argosy University’s campuses. Argosy University will assist
dislocated Ph.D. and Psy.D. students on an individual basis.
Select associate’s degree programs in several health sciences
fields are available at Argosy University/Twin Cities, located
in Eagan, MN.

Argosy University has campuses in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas,
Honolulu, Orange County (Santa Ana, CA), Phoenix, San Francisco
Bay Area (Port Richmond, CA), Sarasota, Schaumburg (IL),
Seattle, Tampa, Twin Cities (Eagan, MN), and Washington DC
(Arlington, VA).

There are a lot of similarities between the two but which one will best suit you? A lot of times, it’s your personality that would help in making the right decision. Let’s see if we could figure this thing out.

The major thing that a PA and a VA have in common is their understanding of office and clerical tasks as well as the knowledge of a daily business practices. Also, they both have the capability to do tasks at the same time.

Both of these kinds of workers will be educated and trained to use both office tools like PC, fax machine, multi line telephone system, printer and copier. They both offer services such as marketing, website maintenance, website design, entry of data, customer service etc.

So where does the similarities end? Let’s talk about the VA first. The Virtual Assistant has the freedom to do his/her tasks from any place that is convenient for him/her. Of course a lot of them work from their homes but they are able to perform their work anywhere that they have the right to use all of the equipment needed.

The Virtual Assistant doesn’t have to deal with their customers’ face to face or even their customers’ associates, family, and friends. They can do their job even with their nightwear or whatever. These freedoms are maybe why others prefer to be a VA rather than a PA.

The Personal Assistant, even as performing a lot of the same tasks as a Virtual Assistant, they are often obliged to be actively involved in their customer/client’s business. They can be asked to do more personal stuffs like walking the dog, bill payments, and a lot of other things.

So which job would you prefer? Normally it boils down to the personality and personal preference. If you favor a more flexible schedule that will allow you more time in your house and you will not deal with you customers face to face, then maybe being a VA is the right course for you.

If you’re comfortable with being actively involved with your customer’s life and following their calendar as well as dealing with their personal lives, then perhaps being a PA is just right for you.
