IS Graduation 2009 May 12, 2009

Posted by afoote in : Information Systems , trackback

Another group of Information Systems (IS) students are graduating. Even in this horrible economy a large number of the IS graduating students have been able to find full time employment opportunities in the Baltimore area. There even a few graduating seniors that have multiple offers and are trying to make a decision between two very good organizations. The Career Services area just does an incredible job finding opportunities for our students. Some of the students started working as interns for these companies during their sophomore and junior years. Now as they graduate they have the needed skills to be successful employees and begin their careers.

 

At the end of the IS481 course, we watch Steve Jobs graduation speech from 2005 at Stanford University. This year with Steve again having health issues the speech is even more powerful. Steve closes the speech with the farewell message from The Whole Earth Catalog. As our IS students graduate from Stevenson University, that is the message I would like to send to all of them.

“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish”
