Introduction to The IT Perspective

Welcome to The IT Perspective! We are a group of University of Northern Iowa Management Information Systems students who are interested in sharing our thoughts on the latest trends in the Information Technology industry. It is our goal to inform and discuss a wide array of new developments to draw the attention of interested learners to the world of Information Technology.

Before we delve into our opinions, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce each administrator of The IT Perspective:

Jared Mueller -- I am a senior Management Information Systems major at the University of Northern Iowa. I became interested in the world of Information Technology when I was a sophomore taking an Information Systems class. Writing code is what I found interesting, and what lead me to choose Management Information Systems as my major. This past summer I worked in the College of Business Administration at the university as a Tech Assistant. I am very excited to share my opinions with you all!

Noah Schroeder -- I am a computer science and management information systems major. I hold the belief that an education is the best investment one can make for themselves. So despite my majors only having a one class overlap, I certainly don't mind it. Because of this, I am technically a senior credit-wise but anticipate graduating in December of 2016. I have a particular interest in the fields of AI, data science, and big data analytics. Unfortunately besides my UNI education, I lack hands-on-experience. Hopefully through class research and a full-time summer internship, some of my experience gaps will fill in. That being said, from this blog I would like to gain additional insights related to data monetization and databases in general.

Austin Eller -- I am a senior at the University of Northern Iowa majoring in both Management Information Systems and Finance. I had little knowledge of the Management Information Systems major until coming to UNI and taking the introductory class.  I enjoyed the topics and exercises in that class enough to add MIS as a second major of mine. I have little experience outside of the classroom, but I find what I have learned so far very interesting and am very excited to see what else there is to learn.
