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
