RJM Systems Inc. is pleased to announce the five winners of our first annual SONISWEB Award and Scholarship program. Five grants of $1,000.00 each were awarded to colleges from around the country: Ozarka College (Melbourne, Arkansas), St. John's College (Springfield, Illinois), The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences (Cincinnati, Ohio), Miles Community College (Miles City, Montana), and St. John's Seminary (Camarillo, California)

"Because of our close relationship with our customers, we want to support their institutions in any way we can," says Joanne Milburn, CEO of RJM Systems. "This new scholarship program is a way for us to give back to our colleges."

The colleges are clearly thrilled with the new program. "I think the new SONISWEB Award and Scholarship Program is terrific," says Esmé Takahashi, Registrar at St. John's Seminary. "It provides a fresh opportunity to connect with SONIS in more than just a business way."

St. John's Seminary has been using SONIS since 1999 for a variety of administrative functions, including processing student enrollments, maintaining academic records and course descriptions, and retaining faculty data. They plan to use the $1,000 grant to improve their student evaluation program. "Because we originally did not have the budget for this program, the financial assistance came at a very significant time," says Takahashi.

Nathan Long, Assistant Dean for General Education at The Christ College, says they're excited to use their $1,000 grant to help implement a technology master plan to bring 21st century technologies like wireless and smart classrooms to their college. "This summer we upgraded to SONISWEB to move our student information databases and registration systems online," says Long. "This was one of the first steps in reaching our long-term goal of being on the technological cutting edge of what nursing colleges are offering."

Jane Schachtsiek, Chancellor of St. John's College is also excited about the new SONISWEB Scholarship and Award Program, which will be used to fund scholarships for their students.

"I am amazed that a company wants to return some benefit to its customers beyond the contracted services it provides," Schachtsiek says. "However, having worked with SONIS for several years, I think the SONISWEB Award and Scholarship Program is yet another example of their desire to be of service to their customers."

Every year, current customers who have renewed their maintenance or hosting contracts on time will be eligible to apply for a $1,000.00 SONISWEB Award. Applications for the 2008 Awards will be accepted from January 1, 2008 to June 1, 2008. Visit www.sonis.com in 2008 for more details.
