Matt Prinkki, Assistant Professor of Aviation, oversees the RMC Unmanned Aircraft Systems program. Under his leadership, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has selected RMC for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems-Collegiate Training Initiative program. This program recognizes institutions that prepare students for careers in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones. To qualify for the initiative, the UAS Program must provide a curriculum covering various aspects of UAS training, including hands-on flight practice, maintenance, uses, applications, privacy concerns, safety, and federal policies concerning UAS. This puts RMC even more on the national map in UAS education.

After graduating from Rocky Mountain College, Professor Prinkki earned his MBA from Walsh College.
