<p style="color: #222222;">Carolinas RIMS is pleased to be hosting&nbsp;<strong>Student Shadow Day 2012</strong>&nbsp;on Friday, March 30, 2012. &nbsp;We need corporate sponsors to host one or two risk management students from either Appalachian State or UNCC for the day. &nbsp;Shadow day gives all of us the opportunity to mentor future risk management professionals and provide them a glimpse at the opportunities our profession has to offer. It has been an invaluable experience for the students and one that we enjoy hosting, but we could not do it without your help.</p>
