UGA Management Information Systems - MIS

The MIS Department's Top 10% Event celebrates some of our department's highest-achieving students.

The exclusive event brings students together with black-level members of the MIS Advisory Board for an evening of dinner, drinks, and lively conversation.

Just finished wrapping up our Top 10% Event hosted a couple weeks ago. It was a wonderful time spent between students and company representatives, celebrating students on a job well done. Looking forward to next year, hopefully without a mid-event fire alarm.

Ain’t nothing like a come back!! Last night’s MIS Welcome Back Social was a major success bringing together students, faculty, and company representatives. Topping the night off with Prof. Rick Watson’s legendary heads and tails from his homeland… Australia!

Back with another “Thursday Thoughts” from our outback cowboy, Rick thinks…

“Information Systems is a thinking profession because you continually confront new problems and technology. You need to learn to think at three levels: low, medium, and high. At the low level, you must learn to think like a programmer, which means you can envision the detail necessary to design an app or a process. You see the overall sequence, the major logic branches, and where loops and functions are needed to create compact and elegant code. Because I like thinking, I still enjoy thinking through a problem and coding a solution, especially on Thursdays.”
