New Chair of Information Systems Department May 28, 2009
Posted by afoote in : Information Systems , trackbackThere is a new chair for the Information Systems Department, Dr. Larry Burgee. He will take over the department for the Fall Semester 2009. With the new School of Business and Leadership, virtualization and the development of online learning programs, Dr. Burgee will be very busy over the next few months.
With the arrival of Dr. Burgee, this means that Mr. Ken Snyder will no longer be the head of the Information Systems Department. As head of the department, Ken did an incredible job and we deeply appreciate his leadership over the last few years. He developed the Networking track and the Forensic Studies. He moved the program from a COBOL and mainframe based operating environment to a PC based environment. He established the core courses for the Information Systems department and all of this while he was still teaching the capstone courses in the AIT graduate program. As an indication of Ken’s impact, look at the success of the students that have graduated from the IS program and the job opportunities that are available to them.
All of us in the Information Systems are looking forward to working with Dr. Burgee, but we certainly need to say thank you to Mr. Ken Snyder for everything he has done to improve the IS programs and provide the best education possible for our students.
