THE MIS CASE CoMPETITIoN We are pleased to host our third annual business case competition in January of 2010. With a unique spin on the traditional concept, contestants will challenge their analytical and communication skills. Two challenging cases will be provided to be solved in teams of three within 48 hours. Afterwards, a final case will be distributed to be solved individually by the members of the best team. High-quality answers are to be expected to redeem the grand prize as well as the prestigious title. Time is running out to get involved! This is a fantastic opportunity to have top university students solve your very own business challenges.
PRoMoTIoN of THE MIS PRogRAM We are going to increase our focus on the promotion of Telfer’s MIS program. This will involve the creation of two scholarships exclusively for students entering the MIS program and raising awareness of the program at local highschools in the Ottawa area. As the club representing the MIS program, MISA will focus on promoting the benefits of MIS to current and
prospective students of the Telfer School of Management.
TBTC 2010 CoNfERENCE The third annual Telfer Business & Technology Conference is set for January 2010. Comprised of a series of seminars, a case competition, and a dinner, the TBTC 2010 Conference is a great way for students, sponsors, aand technology experts to network. The seminars address current technology threads that are facing students and the industry, while the case competition is judged by a panel of experts. The evening is wrapped up with a formal dinner, which is presided over by a leader in the technology industry.
CoURSE EXAM AND Book BANk Due to demand for academic support in MIS courses, our Association has put together a collection of old final/midterm examinations, review sheets, course books and course guides. All material is stored securely in our office. This ensures that, especially during exam time, our office is granted high student traffic and therefore student exposure to any sponsor branding material in it.
New Initiatives For The Coming YearBelow are four exciting activities the Association is putting together to connect you to our members.
Year after year, the Association uses the events and activities below to achieve its mission and improve students in three facets.
To All oUR PAST SPoNSoRS: Thank you!We could not have grown without you. We are grateful that you have
allowed the MIS Association to contribute to the success of your business.
We feel privileged that you have entrusted us with your funds and given
us guidance every step of the way.
Cheers!
