University Student Ambassador Program

The Rocky Mountain Information Management Association (RMIMA) is a professional association in its 20^th year operating in the front range of Colorado. Our Mission Statement indicates that our purpose is “To foster information systems education and the continued advancement of information management. To accomplish this objective, RMIMA provides:

A forum for those concerned with all aspects of information management.

A means for critical examination of the problems and opportunities involved in the development of information systems for the improvement of management performance.

An opportunity for the exchange of ideas with peers.

A transition vehicle for university students into the professional world.

An arena where established IT departments can benefit from being introduced to the best and brightest coming out of the academic world.

The RMIMA holds eight monthly luncheon meetings a year running from September through May. A presentation is made by industry experts representing the field of information management at each of our monthly meetings. Our half-day annual conference is held every March with nationally recognized speakers tackling current technologies and themes.

The Rocky Mountain Information Management Association has established the University Student Ambassador Program to provide a transition vehicle for university students into the professional world. Selected students will represent their University at monthly RMIMA meetings and the annual conference and report back to their University.

All Ambassadors will be introduced to the business community at each meeting and the annual conference. Each ambassador will become a member of the RMIMA Internship Program aimed at offering internship opportunities. Appointment by the head of their department as the Student Ambassador representing their university will carry the prestige that will be recognized by both the university and the business community. A BIO of each Student Ambassador will be posted on the RMIMA web site.

The University Student Ambassador Program is being offered through three universities: Regis University, Denver University, and the University of Colorado at Denver. Two students from each university will be awarded the position as “Ambassadors” to the RMIMA, representing their Universities. The students must be in good standing and commit to attend 8 monthly meetings and the annual conference.

The Student Ambassador Program is funded by the RMIMA in partnership with Corporate Sponsorship. There is no cost to the student or the university. Learn more about the RMIMA at: www.rmima.org
