Student Profile
Is AIM right for you?
AIM Program students are employed in a wide range of organizations and positions, including information systems managers, technical writers, marketing managers, financial systems analysts, network administrators, engineers, systems analysts, designers, accountants, educators, law enforcement personnel, and healthcare managers.
AIM students range in age from their late 20s to early 50s. Many have children, from newborns to high school graduates. A few have already completed an MBA or other master's degree. Read interviews with AIM alumni about how the program has helped them in their career.
What do AIM students and alumni say about the program?
The Capstone process, and the AIM Program in general, has been an extremely rich and rewarding experience. Thanks in large part to the AIM Program, I have seen significant results in my professional growth over the last three years, ascending from an IT System Administration position to IT Manager, and then most recently to Director of Information Technology. Completing the AIM Program has further helped me to achieve a strong sense of personal accomplishment.

AIM provided a great bridge from technical to business. It helps technically minded people understand the business processes.
—AIM Graduate, from 2011 alumni survey
AIM prepared me for the second half of my career. The overall AIM experience was incredible—I learned so much on so many different topics and developed two key life skills: time management and self-confidence.
—Erik R., '09
I was chosen over other qualified librarians [for my current job] because of my unique information management experience and my diversified AIM Master’s Degree. Thank you, UO!

Helped me move from the more technical, development activities of my previous position, into more communication/management level positions.

I really feel that the AIM Program has gotten me more focused, and I am more confident in my leadership abilities since joining this program.

Everyone I've communicated with, from email to phone, were extremely cordial, professional, courteous and helpful.
—Anonymous, current student
I discovered much more about myself (learning and communication styles) than I had anticipated. I was also immediately able to apply lessons learned at my work. I am now comfortable establishing and growing relationships with teammates in a learning environment.

The instructor [Jane Maitland-Gholson] communicated heavily and ensured that she was available to assist students. I have rarely been given such support from a traditional instructor.
—Anonymous, current student
I have many years of experience (and failure) trying to explain these technologies to others but have never found the proper way to "lead people down the path" to understanding. The structure of this class [Data Management and Communications] did it so well I believe I will pay the greatest compliment by copying it for the internal training I do.
