7th Annual MISA Mixer 2013

Thank you for attending the 7th Annual MISA Mixer hosted by the Management Information Systems Association (MISA). We are proud to host this event that will assist bright mind-ed students interested in technology learning how technol-ogy interacts with businesses from IT professionals.

Collaborating with an upper division MIS course on project management for this years event, our Organizing Commit-tee has spent this past four months to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere that has been a tradition for the MISA Mixer. This year the theme will be IT Diversity and Involve-ment which will bring a wide array of professionals from all dynamics of IT industry as well as various companies and organizations representing different career paths that are available to students.

We also would like to thank all industry professionals, student groups, volunteers, sponsors who have supported this event. Also thanks to the photographer who took the time to come and support our event as well as the Organiz-ing Committee who have spent a tremendous effort for the event. And a special thank you to the attendees who have made the 7th Annual MISA Mixer a success.

The Management Information Systems Association (MISA) is a student organization that belongs to the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia. Management Information System (MIS) is a hot topic that allows companies to blend the knowledge of people skills, information technology and strategy to make better and efficient decisions.

Students at SFU learn how to manage unique projects and analyze business processes that are relevant in a real life work atmosphere. MISA’s goal is to be the leader in devel-oping and connecting quality SFU students who are inter-ested in MIS with MIS industry professionals. To accomplish MISA’s goal, we facilitate events and workshops that create awareness of the MIS industry, develop skills related to MIS and introduce IT professionals familiar with MIS to inter-ested students.
