No other club, organization or class offers the opportunities that the Risk Management and Insurance (RMI) program at VCU offers. By becoming involved in RMI, I received numerous scholarships, internships, industry connections, and a full-time position upon graduation at a company I love, doing what I love. I can say without a doubt the RMI program at VCU is the reason I am where I am in my professional development.
