Graduation Bar Crawl T-Shirt Design Contest
Create or suggest slogans or designs for the t-shirts that we’ll wear during our Bar Crawl
Due by Saturday, (11/12) @ 5:00 pm to amymarks@indiana.edu (CC: msisa@indiana.edu)
The Board will choose the “top 3” and will open up final voting
to all members the day after submission.
Note: Submissions are open for all, not just MSISA members
 
The end of the semester is approaching and that means only one thing – we need to prepare for the Fall 2011 Graduation Bar Crawl!  We will take your designs and/or suggestions until this Saturday, November 12th at 5:00 pm.  On Sunday November 13th, we will send out links for a public poll to allow everyone the opportunity to decide on their top pick(s).  The public polls will close Wednesday November 16th  at 11:59 pm.  Then, on Thursday November 17th  we will send out the link for T-shirt purchasing which will close on Tuesday, November 22nd at 12:00 pm.  Please see below for submission guidelines.
------------------------------------ 
Submission Guidelines
  • Shirt Design:
    1. Include a front and back design & slogan.  Typically, the front is a clean, simple graphic with “Graduation Bar Crawl” on it and the back is a more complex graphic.
    2. We cannot personally identify with the MSIS program through the shirt, so keep your slogans a little more generic. J
    3. Send your design to amymarks@indiana.edu and CC: msisa@indiana.edu.
    4. See attached for prior designs!

  • File Formats:
    1. PowerPoint Slide / Screenshot – Use PowerPoint and design a slide and either take a screenshot or submit the PPT deck.
    2. CustomInk.com – Visit the http://www.customink.com/lab/ CustomInk “Lab” website and add graphics and text to the shirt as you see fit.  Either take a screenshot of your final design or send yourself the link, then forward it to us.
    3. Photoshop – Build out the layout in Photoshop and submit it as a PSD.

**Note: Regardless of the file format, the winning submission will be “cleaned up” (turned into high-resolution, clean-edged graphics) for the actual t-shirt.  So don’t worry about making it perfect!

MSISA Community Service Day [Mon (8/23) @ 7:30am]

As part of our mission, the MSISA is working on getting more involved with the community of Bloomington.  This is a great opportunity for anyone/everyone to give back to a community, which gives so much to the school.  It is also highly encouraged for incoming students as it is also a great time to network with fellow students and engage in activities that will allow for better discussions in interviews. 

  • Skills Needed – None!  All you need to bring is yourself and the organizations will give you any/all training necessary for the individual events.
  • Transportation – Provided by the ISGP office and fellow MSIS members.  Students will meet in the atrium and divide into rental shuttles and cars to be taken to the selected volunteer sites.  Rides will also take you back to the Kelley School of Business.
    • It will take place at various locations, including a community gardening project in Bloomington, a landscaping project at Griffey Lake and at a maintenance project at a local day camp and Girls club.

If you haven't seen the message in your @indiana.edu mailbox, please Contact Us so we can make sure you'll get relevant information on this event (and future events)!

Welcome to the New MSISA Website!

On behalf of the MSIS Association, I would like to welcome you to our newly renovated home on the internet!  You'll see areas start to fill up with content over the coming months as we cultivate valuable materials for our members to take advantage of.

As your wander the site, you'll notice a fresher feel, more content and a revised structure.  There are a few new areas I would like to call out in particular:

  • News - A standard welcome page (what you're viewing right now) that will contain, on average, bi-weekly updates from the organization that contain event photos, calendar additions and IS academic-style articles.  A great place to start browsing!
  • Events - A calendar listing of our planned events throughout the semester.  Note that you will be receiving Outlook invites via your e-mail accounts as event dates become closer - but, we won't bother bogging down your inbox with events that are tentative and months away.
  • Resources (members only) - An area that contains materials from prior Speaker Series and Workshop events and seasonal applications for involvement.  As we add to this page throughout the semester, it should become a great place to go for interview preparation, case workshops and other recruiting information.

If you have any questions - drop us a line in the About Us -> Contact Us page!

-Matt Blair, President
