Well, good news! … The HIMSS 2012 Student Mentorship Program will be kicking off soon.  The program is designed for Undergraduate Juniors, Seniors and Graduate students, majoring in healthcare-related fields at local colleges, to be mentored by a HIMSS NCA member over the course of the spring semester.

Each one-on-one mentor/student team will collaborate from February to May; typically meeting only a couple of times.  The program culminates the end of May with a 5-star dinner courtesy of HIMSS for all participants.

Please consider participating in this excellent development opportunity.  Mentors and mentees alike gain value from this program.

Please email Kenyon Crowley at kenyon.crowley@gmail.com or Jon Bogen at jbogen@us.ibm.com to sign up or learn more about participating.
