Every five or six years the department considers a complete program redesign. Last year after reviewing the curriculum with the faculty, our advisory board, alumni and students we determined that a complete redesign was not in order and that some fine tuning was all that was needed so I lead the effort to implement a change of array for the undergraduate MIS program. This change of array included eliminating the required MIS elective, adding a second required application development course and adding a new required digital design studio class, ending the practice of having separate “majors only” and “minors only” sections of MIS3504.

In 2011 I served as the co-chair for the committee that designed our MS in IT Auditing, Cyber Security, and Risk. This was another exciting and innovative new program. There were no other program like this in the region and only a handful of other similar program in the country. I also worked with the MPC to receive their approval for this new program which started in the spring of 2012. ITACS, under the direction of Rich Flanagan and now David Lanter, has been a wildly successful program for the Fox School and the MIS department.

In the spring of 2005 I played a leadership role in the complete redesign of the BBA in MIS program. Not only did I participate as a team member but it was my responsibility to keep this redesign moving forward and to work with the UPC to get final approval for this new program. In this role I engaged all faculty members and administrators within the department, current students, alumni, and executives from our advisory board to work collaboratively and develop an exciting and innovative new program. Much of the work we did back in 2011 is still at the core of our current program.
