Faculty & Staff Resources

(Impact: Symposium 2020 (March 5) was a success with 226 registrants (93 paid), 55 companies (13 supporting financially). Many were through personal contacts. This is a high increase compared to last year's (2019) event: 150 registrants and 30 companies. I managed the overall execution of the symposium including venue, cost, promotions, speakers, agenda, student competitions, operations and planning, and others.

Several new companies, such as AWS, Capgemini, Canton & Company, Infosys have collaborated with us and have voiced the desire to continue.

For the students, I invited companies to provide projects for the MSBA capstone course and to give technical presentations to our classes. Companies which have contributed during this period include Canton & Company, Alcon, GM Financial, Walmart, Petmate, and Medtronic.

In the spring 2020, I started inviting companies which have internship and placement openings to conduct face-to-face Information Sessions specifically for our students. This is a per company event. Lonestar Analytics, GM Financial, and Signify Health came in the spring 2020. The feedback has been positive both from the companies and students. This is good for the students, the companies, and our programs (good promotion since the events were posted in Linkedin by the companies). I will continue managing this program.

I believe I have helped students in internship and placement through information sessions I planned with companies, and through managing the internship courses for OPMA, INSY, and MSBA students.

I have promoted the programs (MSIS and MSBA) to the industry in general and to prospective students. | Engagement:

I did in company outreach in various forms, attended industry meetings to promote the Center and the programs (MSBA and MSIS), and kept up to date with the market and the technology.

Advised current students academically and career wise; and answered prospective student inquiries.)
