a call for testimonials of the MIS program

The MIS faculty are on a project to promote the MIS program. Enrollment in our program has been down in recent years. So we would like to hear from you, our graduates. We would like your testimonial of how the MIS program at Marshall University prepared you for your career.

We would like your testimonial in one of three formats, in order of preference.

First, it would be great if you could make a short video of yourself.

Or second, if you could just record yourself talking and include a picture.

Or third, just your written testimonial (and a picture would be nice).

Here are some ideas of things to include.

· Talking about your experience in the MIS program

· positive course experiences

· your career since graduating

· your views on MIS career opportunities

· your advice to current students

Many students have questions about the types of jobs there qualified for with an MIS degree. So if you could take a moment and briefly described the types of jobs you have had and how your degree prepared you.

If you're not comfortable giving a full testimonial, please just take a moment and tell me something positive or negative that resulted from your majoring in MIS.

Traditionally, we have not done well recruiting female students into the program. So we would really like to hear from our female graduates. If you have any suggestions on how to help us improve our recruiting activities please feel free to contact any member of the MIS faculty.

Thanks for your help!!!!

Rick
