- For MIS3406, this Class Project required the completion of 10 Modules of AWS Academy Cloud Foundations to gain a certificate from AWS. All of the modules provided a foundation to the course material taught by my professor, Mart Doyle. Topics included:
- Cloud Concepts
- Cloud Billing – focuses on pricing and charging for cloud services, explains different pricing models such as pay-as-you-go, subscription based, and spot pricing
- AWS Global Infrastructure – the collection of data centers and network points across the globe
- Cloud Security – different security measures that are taken to protect the cloud such as firewalls and NACLs
- Networking and Content Delivery – services that can enable communication between the cloud and the user
- Compute – services that can run and manage applications
- Storage – allows the user to store and manage data on the cloud
- Databases – can create, manage, and operate databases on the cloud
- Cloud Architecture – design and deployment of cloud applications
- Autoscaling and Monitoring – services that enable the user to scale their IT/cloud infrastructure and to monitor it efficiently.
MIS 3406 AWS Academy
AWS Academy Cloud Foundations
As a part of my Cloud Architecture class, I learned the foundations of Amazon AWS. Upon completing all of the modules in AWS Academy, I received a certificate which is linked below. Through this course I learned about the different services provided through AIS, and how to utilize them. The knowledge gained from this course worked alongside my classwork to give me an understanding of the basics of Amazon Web Services.

Temple MIS once again tops AIS list for research productivity
Temple MIS faculty are again among the most prolific in the world in 2022, according to the Association for Information Systems’ List of High-Quality Journals, specifically MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, the Journal of Management Information Systems, and the Journal of the Association for Information Systems.
Temple faculty published in those four journals 21 times in 2022. Four Temple MIS faculty were featured in the list: Jason Thatcher, Milton F. Stauffer professor, was #4 in the world; Detmar Straub, professor and research fellow for the Institute for Business and Information Technology (IBIT), was #7; Min-Seok Pang, associate professor and Milton F. Stauffer Research Fellow, was #27. Sunil Wattal, professor and associate dean of research and doctoral programs, was also #27.
“I’m proud to see Temple University once again top this list,” says Wattal. “The strong research culture in the MIS Department and throughout Fox is part of who we are.”
Pang, who studies strategic IT management in the public sector, remarks, “It’s exciting to be part of a group so engaged with research.”
Temple was also the most frequently published institution in those four journals during the last three years, with 54 publications from 2020 to 2022. During that time, Thatcher was #1 in the world, Pang was #19 in the world, and Straub was #27 in the world.
“The MIS Department and Fox School support and value research,” says Straub, who studies cyber security, technology innovation, and research methods, “This allows the faculty to thrive.”
Thatcher, who studies workforce issues related to the effective and secure application of technology and is the MIS concentration adviser for the Fox Ph.D. programs, notes the strength of the group, “It’s a great environment for research collaboration. We have productive faculty with varied interests and excellent doctoral students. We also enjoy celebrating each other’s accomplishments.”
April 2023 – Chair’s Message
It has been another outstanding year for the Temple MIS Department’s faculty, staff, and students. Temple MIS faculty were among the most prolific in the world once again in 2022, according to the Association for Information Systems’ List of High-Quality Journals. Professors Jason Thatcher, Detmar Straub, Min-Seok Pang, and Sunil Wattal are featured individually on that list.
Read about the other ways our faculty have been recognized: Munir Mandviwalla received the Sandra Slaughter Service Award from the Association for Information Systems; Marie-Christine Martin won the Fox School Experience Learning Award; and Jason Thatcher was recognized by the Technical University of Munich as a TUM Ambassador.
Our students also have impressive accomplishments to celebrate. First, read about our Temple AIS student chapter’s three big wins at the annual AIS Student Chapter Leadership Conference, including their second consecutive win as Distinguished Chapter. Also learn about research by MIS major Allyson Yu, BBA ’23, on web accessibility and her first-place award at a recent ACM conference.
I am also proud to share stories of our excellent alumni. Learn how Ciara Murphy, BBA ’16, creates insight from data as a Technical Program Manager at Disney Streaming. Ciara was also a 2023 Temple “30 under 30” awardee along with Loymi Peralta, BBA ’22. Also discover how Rhea Prabhu, BBA ’17, uses what she learned while an MIS major at Temple to create client solutions as a Cyber Security Senior Associate at EY.
And finally, I am pleased to share this year’s 21 MIS Department and Institute for Business and Information Technology scholarship recipients.
Congratulations to all of our accomplished students and faculty!

Senior’s award-winning research makes education more accessible for students with disabilities
Senior Allyson Yu took a winding path to the MIS Department, as her interests evolved during the pandemic. Yu started out at Temple with a dual major in biology and visual studies in 2019, but she switched to MIS junior year.
Fortunately, all of these disciplines came together to inform Yu’s current work, WebORA, a website that helps organic chemistry students learn by interacting with 3D molecular reactions. Yu presented the project at the peer-reviewed ACM SIGACCESS for Accessibility and Computers conference in October and won first place in the Undergradate Student Research Competition.
The inspiration for the project came from a certificate course Yu took that had a small section about web accessibility. “It really interested me, because I’m very passionate about design thinking and coming up with solutions to help people in their everyday lives,” says Yu.
“Students with disabilities are underrepresented in the STEM fields in higher education. I wanted to create a project that would hopefully bring more awareness to this issue,” she says.
Yu drew from various parts of her studies to inform her work. As a biology major, Yu had worked with Steven Fleming, an organic chemistry professor, to help develop a 3D molecular application.
She also pulled from her MIS courses on user experience and web development. In particular, Yu credits her UX professor Munir Mandviwalla for giving her a framework for usability testing.
Yu’s JavaScript, HTML and CSS skills also enabled her to help the WebORA developer with implementing the accessibility features.
But Yu’s favorite part of the project was her interviews with organic chemistry students as they demoed the prototype she created. “Hearing stories of students in their learning journeys was really eye opening,” says Yu. “Bringing awareness is a big thing—making students feel seen and removing barriers in the curriculum.”
Yu was thrilled when she heard her project was accepted and that she would have the opportunity to talk about it more. “It felt really unreal. And I’m excited,” says Yu.
To support her project, Yu received the Creative Arts Research and Scholarship (CARAS) grant from Temple University.
“Something I’ve learned from this project is that Temple has a lot of resources,” says Yu. “I’m thankful that I go to a school where if a student wants to do something, they’ll have professors who will do their very best to support you.”
