What MIS Honors Alumni say about their experience:

By only enrolling students with high levels of competence and the ability to complete exceptional work, the honors class taught me, when working on a project of any kind, the importance of having smart, responsible, and fun teammates cannot be overstated.	Derek DeSantis MIS Honors Student, AY2008-2009
This Honors class was the most useful and memorable of all of the classes I took in college. The educational and professional value that I gained from taking this class has really helped me at this early point in my career and I can only imagine that the experience will continue to help me in the future. I would recommend it to any student who has the desire to be the best.	John Ehrhardt IT Engineer, Cisco Systems MIS Honors Student, AY2008-2009
This program brought me to a whole new level on the management skills via the hands-on project that I didn't learn from my MBA program. The closeness to a real world job from this project helped me to gain valuable experiences toward my career.	Aaron ShinKai Kau MIS Honors Student, AY2008-2009
I believe that my honors program provided a solid understanding of how to apply my previous coursework in a real world setting. It allowed me to gain important experience that I wouldn’t have found in any other course. Although the honors program was demanding at times and filled with challenges, the program provided me the skills required to springboard into greater opportunities. This year I plan to attend graduate school and acquire my project management certification, which I believe would have been more difficult without the experiences I acquired from the College of Business MIS honors program.	Michael Marfell MIS Honors Student, AY2008-2009
The honors program prepared me for the daily experiences of the corporate workplace, from responsibly working with individuals of diverse backgrounds to time management to understanding the value of a project to the organization and seeing it created from concept to the final product. Thank you for preparing me for my job :) .	Matthew Peloquin Systems Engineering Associate Brocade Communications MIS Honors Student, AY2008-2009
When I walk into an interview, I find that the person on the other side of the desk is very impressed with my honors project experience. It is perhaps the most liked part of my resume. They really like that I was experienced with project management concepts, project implementation, and business intelligence.	Mark Crumpacker Sales Support Engineer, Salesforce.com MIS Honors Student, AY2007/2008
I would like to say thank you for allowing me to participate in the Gary J. Sbona Honors Proram. Work on our project this year has been a truly unique and rewarding college experience and one that I am grateful for. This class has helped me apply skills I have learned throughout the MIS program and has provided a significant foundation for my professional development. Thank you!	Wayne Speer MIS Honors Student, AY2007/2008
The project itself was a lot of fun, and I gained valuable and usable experience working with many different kinds of people in what were sometimes very challenging relationships.	Rick Dexter, CEO and Founder, NDYNAMICS, Inc. MIS Honors Student, AY2007/2008
