RIM Month 2025
Since 1995, records managers in this country and around the world have celebrated April as Records and Information Management (RIM) Month. Here at UT, our training schedule for April is full to the RIM of virtual and in-person classes covering records management basics, electronic records management, and the importance of creating a departmental records inventory.
Our virtual training sessions this year include Manage Your Mailbox Before It Manages You, SharePoint Permissions and Metadata, and one of our popular sessions from last year’s RIM Month, Tackling the Digital Sprawl: Exploring the Challenges of Electronic Records Management, plus our standard records management trainings, IG101: Records and Information Management for DRMCs and IG103: What Everyone Needs to Know about University Records.
Prefer to learn in person? Sign up for one of our small group workshops where you will get hands-on experience in classifying and disposing of records or creating a records inventory. These workshops are a fantastic interactive learning experience that have been very popular with attendees.
Also new this year: participation prizes! As a reward for our most dedicated records management friends, for every training you attend, your name will be entered into a drawing to win one of three fabulous prizes: a stuffed Bevo, a UT-branded stainless steel water bottle, or a pair of UT-themed athletic socks.
For all the details and links to register, please visit our event SharePoint site: RIM Month 2025.
