SCHOOL OF INFORMATION STUDIES

To our PMI-Syracuse Business Colleagues:

The School of Information Studies (known affectionately as the iSchool) has a number of graduate students looking for opportunities to gain real business experience with projects that involve information systems in some way. Many just want the opportunity to serve on a project team or gain awareness of how things work while returning some value to the organization with their ability to help you achieve some goals of your own.

What kinds of Projects?

We have students at the Masters level who want very much to:

• Document System Requirements
• Validate Systems Through Testing
• Write Queries for Databases
• Design/Develop Reports
• Participate With You in Interviewing Users
• Participate in General Project Team Meetings
• Assist in Projce Asministration Through Recordkeeping, Scheduling, Reports, Documentation
• Help Enhance Websites
• Assist With Social Media Projects
• Learn Business/IT Budgeting, Financial Controls, Contracting
• Support Networks, Servers, Routers, Switches
• And More!

The process for bringing students in is surprisingly simple. The attached Information Document below, has additional details.

Thank you!
