sn-slislogo.jpg

If you're one of SLIS's nearly 300 MIS graduates who did not receive our July 12 letter, then let us know where you are and what you're doing. Send your news and information to SLIS Director of Admissions and Placement Rhonda Spencer (spencerr@indiana.edu) and she'll make sure it gets to the IU Alumni Association. We'll even list your latest professional news in the class notes section of SLIS Network, our alumni magazine.

Send us your comments, too. We'd like know how your MIS degree is helping you make a difference.

Here is what two MIS graduates had to say:

  • "The classes I completed in the MIS program have helped me to continue to provide information ... I feel that the health information field is an excellent opportunity for MIS grads."
    -- Health Information Administrator
  • "I use databases and evolving information systems every day. My degree has given me tools to evaluate and improve these systems."
    -- Supervisor, Air Traffic Control

  • This kind of feedback from grads encourages prospective students to apply to the MIS degree program.

    Based on responses to our letter, positions occupied by MIS alumni include the following titles:

    • Program and Systems Analyst
    • Director of Operations (Scientific Publishing)
    • Chief Financial Officer (Medical Consulting)
    • Manager, Public and Outreach Services (College Library)
    • MBA student
    • Project Manager
    • Programmer/Analyst
    • Director, Special Collections Research Center (College Library)
    • Assistant Professor
    • Reference/Media Librarian (College Library)
    • Archive Analyst and Programmer
    • Web Manager

    MIS graduates of the future (like those today and in the past) will continue to make a difference in these ways:

    1. developing websites to help people
    2. working with cultural preservation
    3. organizing health information so that it can be easily retrieved by doctors
    4. helping people digitally access irreplaceable documents
    5. providing knowledge management strategies to companies
    6. working with international aid projects
    7. helping universities with their information systems and needs

    The MIS prepares students for these and many other creative jobs.

    When you have the time, we'd like to hear from you. Contact us at slis@indiana.edu or call 812-855-2018 or 888-335-7574 (toll free).
