CIS Advisory Board meets at SBU
BOLIVAR, Mo. —The 2013 SBU Computer and
Information Sciences Advisory Board brought together eight technology leaders
to help set the future direction of the Southwest Baptist University Computer
Information Science Department when it met Friday, March 1. An informal career
fair coincided with the advisory board meeting.
“Advisory
boards help us out in many ways,” said Dr. Tim DeClue, Chair of the SBU CIS
Department. “They let us know what the horizon issues are in industry,
they give us great feedback on the job we are doing and, most importantly, they
let us know if we are still on track to achieve our goal of being the best CIS
program at an evangelical Christian college in the U.S.”
Advisory
Board members include:
• Hal
Correll, enterprise architect with Wal-Mart Information Systems Division,
Bentonville, Ark.;
• Chuck Campbell, manager, GTS Services Delivery Center, IBM, Columbia,
Mo.;
• Jeff Jackson, project
leader, Intel, Seattle, Wash.;
• Neil
Anderson, manager of application development, American National Property and
Casualty, Springfield, Mo.;
• Melissa Green, group technical
director, VML, Kansas City, Mo.;

services, Jack Henry & Associates, Monett, Mo.;

Kansas City, Mo.; and
