Based in Silicon Valley, the ASU-Draper Entrepreneurship Incubator program champions student visionaries with changemaking ideas. ASU student Courteney Real took a risk on the experience, and emerged ready to change the world.

A year of research and hard work has culminated with first-year research paper presentations for three PhD students in the W. P. Carey Department of Information Systems.

Vi TranLe is a woman of many talents. She manages a band, plans weddings, develops apps and is an information technology whiz. All of these skills, she said, have similar traits — they all require execution of a well-thought-out plan.

Before launching into a new academic year, we took time out this week to gather the faculty — 32 strong — for a group portrait. They are as excited as the students to get back to class! But before we leave summer behind, read about our capstone projects

Like many first-year students, Julie Harr saw so many career options when she began college that she wasn’t sure which path to take.

The capstone project is the crowning moment of our degree programs. Students work in teams to apply the knowledge and skills learned in virtually all of their classes to a project in a real business.

Increasing the percentage of women in technology — including leadership positions — is one of the challenges schools and companies face today.

The W. P. Carey convocation was last week, and CIS was represented by the department's Outstanding Graduating Senior, Joshua McCoy, who carried our banner. In the weeks leading up to this happy event, the academic community focuses intensely on pulling the threads together.

If a photographer takes 1,000 pictures, perhaps five will turn out. However, the photographer got 995 lessons on how to take a better picture. That’s the philosophy of Shashank Rajani: photographer, technology whiz, and the 2017-2018 Department of Information Systems Club president.
