Information System Advisory Council

The Information Systems (IS) Advisory Council (ISAC) is comprised of industry and government professionals. The purpose of the ISAC is to advise the IS Area, including faculty and students on issues related to area planning, curriculum development, student recruitment and placement. Some of the goals of the Advisory Council are:

• To provide guidance that correctly targets the curriculum to develop a skill set in our graduates which best meets market demands.
• To enhance the career placement opportunities for our students and help develop student job search and selection skills.
• To discover and promote strategic alliances leading to internship opportunities for our majors.
• To create and enhance a student’s experience in the classroom through appearances, presentations and discussions with information technology leaders from the Advisory Council or their representative organizations.
• To provide industry information helpful in promoting and sustaining faculty currency with practices in information systems.
• To create opportunities for faculty research partnerships with business organizations and information technology professionals.
• To provide guidance on CIS area direction and resource allocation within the constrained resources available of program delivery.
