Course Development Spotlight
RIMS New Jersey Chapter
Spencer and the RIMS New Jersey Chapter are looking to partner with colleges and universities in New Jersey to expand RMI education!
Spencer’s Course Development funding supports the development
of RMI curricula. Funding opportunities range from introductory course
development (i.e., RMI 101) at institutions with no RMI courses to expanding
existing RMI courses to address upper-level topics (e.g., Insurance Company
Operations, P&C, and ERM). Grant amounts typically range from $10,000 to
$25,000 (average $15,000), and New Jersey RIMS Chapter engagement is
possible to support RMI graduate scholarships and experiential learning
initiatives.
