future career. I worked hours on end trying to organize and plan events such as Java and Jobs and BizNet, but seeing how much these events im-pacts the student body makes it all worth it. There are not enough good things I can say about the IT program and how the IT fac-ulty and staff truly care about the students and their suc-cess. Being 1 of 11,000 can be hard, and having people around you who care makes all the difference. My advice here is to get to know your IT advisor and professors. They are a wonderful group of peo-ple who will bring out your strengths. Each professor has their own strong network of people/professionals and is more than willing to use their connections to the benefits of their students. With all of this I would like to make a few suggestions on how to make the most out of your time at Marquette. Here are a few lists of what I have found to help me become the person I am today. Classes I really enjoyed: If you’re in the honors pro-gram, take Labyrinths with Dr. Hathaway as your sophomore

It has been a great pleasure being ITSO president this past year. As cheesy as it sounds, it’s true. There were very stressful times but overall, I wouldn’t give up this experi-ence for anything. I had some big shoes to fill with Stepha-nie Stork as last year’s presi-dent and I could not have done it without the rest of the current e-board. ITSO had a very strong foun-dation with Stephanie as the leader. She was able to transition all her knowledge to me so I, along with the e-board, could make it even better. Each year we are re-formatting the organization based on experience and hopefully through our experi-ence this year, the next year’s e-board can do even better. This year has enabled me to meet great people and I have learned a ton about what it takes to be a leader. I would like to thank the executive board for all of their hard work and dedication. From creating publicity, to organiz-ing service events, to updat-ing the website, the e-board has been crucial to the suc-cess of this organization. Also, I want to extend a big thanks to our advisor, Dr. Ow. He has been a true mentor and friend

throughout this past year and without him, life would have been easier (haha), but a lot less satisfactory and worthwhile. Also, congratula-tions is in order to Professor Ow who won Faculty Advisor of the Year – way to go!! As the semester came to an end, I could not help but remi-nisce over the past few years

of my life – what a roller-coaster! I can remember the first day my mom dropped me off at school and how de-pendent I was. Now, I am about to be

living on my own with bills to pay! A large part of who I am today has to do with my in-volvement in IT. Who knew that I would be a tech girl? I for sure didn’t. The decision was very hard to make and it wasn’t until the final weeks of MANA 120 that I switched to IT. It’s crazy to think that was just a little over a year ago, and here I am, graduation after fulfilling a year as ITSO President. I got to meet some incredible professionals like Blagica and Romke who have inspired me to push my-self in my

Hello everyone, my name is Mary Cath-erine Smith and I will be a senior next year at Marquette University. I am studying Information Technology and International Business with a French minor. I would like to thank all the cur-rent members for their support in elect-ing me president for next year. I truly appreciate the confidence everyone has given me in order to run ITSO. This past year’s e-board, under the wonderful guidance of Erica Gelvan, made great strides in improving upon our organiza-tion and outstanding success as a club. I am honored to continue the tradition

and reputation of ITSO with all my newly elected colleagues and I thank this year’s e-board for all of their hard work. I am sure that next year will be fun and rewarding through networking opportunities, community service, and club activities. Please feel free to con-tact me at marycath-erine.smith@mu.edu if you have any comments, suggestions, or thoughts for next year because ITSO is truly about coming together as an organization and learning, living, and loving IT. ~Mary Catherine Smith

Greetings from ITSO’s New President, Mary Catherine Smith

Mary Catherine is a junior majoring in IT and International Business, and has a French Minor.

(from p. 1) seminar. Otherwise, take a class on spirituality, you’ll learn so much about yourself. I was never a big believer/practitioner of spirituality but taking this course has really taught me how to fo-cus on my life and take time to reflect on what’s important to me. Take Web Applications Development. Designing and creating functional websites is awe-some and you will learn a lot more about coding logic, which may seem dull, but I feel will really help people in their career in IT. The class is demand-ing and rigorous but has always been a high point in my day. The instant gratifi-cation of seeing the hard work function correctly is extremely satisfying. Non-academic activities at Marquette: Attend MU Basketball games at the Bradley Center – it is a great way to bond with your fellow classmates. Participate in one of the million service opportunities offered – it will open your eyes to the world. For example, Hun-ger Clean-Up is a great way to see the Milwaukee community and

the hardships that some people have to deal with. From living in shacks to deal-ing with drugs and violence, Milwaukee isn’t perfect and showing this to the public will hopefully bring awareness in order to make changes for the better. Study abroad or at least travel some-where foreign – the world is an amazing place. This is also a great way to build your network. Who knows who you will meet and where they are from? You could build a relationship which can give you a free stay in one of the coolest cities in the world. Join ITSO!! The club offers so many great opportunities for networking and socialization. The club hosts multiple speakers throughout the year, puts out a publication every month, hosts big networking events each semester, and provides service to the community. There are so many opportunities and it can really help you find what you are passionate about and teach about all the opportunities in the IT field. Milwaukee is a fun place to be and of-fers a lot of activities. Get yourself out there and make new friends. Milwaukee has some great people in it! Here are things that I have done while in Milwau-kee that I would highly suggest::

Stay in Milwau-kee over the summer – it is 10x more fun than during the school year. There’s festivals every week and Jazz in the Park every Thursday. Spend some time in the 3rd ward. Go down to veterans park when it’s sunny and enjoy the lake. Eat at the Safehouse – food is decent, atmosphere is awesome! Go to Izumi’s for fantastic and reason-able Japanese food. With all of this said I really have en-joyed my time here at Marquette and thank everyone who has touched my life. Seniors – congratulations, we made it! Thanks for all the memories. I also want to wish the new e-board best of luck on the upcoming academic year. And everyone please, keep in touch. My permanent e-mail address is egelvan@gmail.com. You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Now all that’s left to say is: Bring it On Real World. ~Erica Gelvan

Hunger Clean–Up 2009 was a huge success for the ITSO team! We had 14 eager volunteers who selflessly sacri-ficed a Saturday morning and afternoon to work really hard in the heat of the day. We met up at the crack of dawn on Saturday, April 18th and luckily had nice, warm weather. We were helping a group

called “Project RESPECT”, an organiza-tion who wants to bring the sense of community back to lower-income neighborhoods. In their efforts, many successful young people have grown up to become the movers and shakers of Milwaukee, bringing home the idea of respecting yourself and becoming suc-

cessful. In an effort to help, the ITSO team banded together and helped to clean up the neighborhood. We began to interact with children and adults as the day went on, and felt very fortunate to meet people from different walks of life.

January saw the first ITSO SPAM-Out event, an event of computer virus and spyware awareness. This year was held as a trial event to judge interest and success. The event was held at the end of January to catch students coming back from vacations over break to who knows where picking up god knows what computer viruses; and catching them before they infect the peer to peer networks of Marquette. The first weekend we set up shop in McCormick, offering advice, free clean-ings and accepting donations for the 2009 Hunger Cleanup. And to my sur-prise the freshmen were receptive. We caught them in their stupor and lack of sleep stage as they made their way to the dining hall to recharge. We cleaned a good number of computers that day,

ITSO’s First Annual SPAM-Out Event passed out fliers and received dona-tions. With some great volunteers that include Jerry Wiratama, Daniel Widjaja, Sara Abdul Rahman, and John Knoll, we pulled it off without a hitch. The following Saturday brought us to the sophomore equivalent to McCor-mick, Schroeder. These students were less receptive; maybe it could have been that the dining hall wasn’t open. Thanks to those who volunteer at Schroeder; Christian Whitman, Kathe-rine Leenhouts, Andrianus Fanardy, and John Kendzior. We did not know what to expect but this year’s trial hopefully paved the way for next year’s SPAM-Out, and with some careful planning, I expect it to be an even greater success. So again thanks

and hey, don’t download anything you are not familiar from the internet. ~ Josh Connor

We realized what a great organization Project RESPECT is, and the impact of what they’re trying to do for the commu-nity. We felt that this organization really brings together all types of people, and that this was a good lesson to learn and bring to the workplace. Hunger Clean-Up 2009 was a great experience, and we all had an excellent time both help-ing the community and bonding with other ITSO students. As coordinator of community service this year, I’ve felt very lucky to bring a difference to others who are less fortu-nate. It has been an eye-opening ex-perience, and something that I hope all of us in ITSO continue as we graduate and go out into the world. ~ Stephanie Rau

I’ve picked up trash along roads before for service projects, so I thought that the ITSO Hunger Clean-Up project would feel just as insignificant as any of the other cleanup projects I have done; however none of those experi-ences could have prepared me for the neighborhood surrounding 28th and Center Street. Bending over to pick up some trash, I noticed a mud covered, stainless steel spoon. Two feet away, under a small pile of leaves, I found half of a broken white and blue plate. I replayed the stories I’ve heard of people finding credit cards and dolls buried in the ground in post-Katrina New Orleans. But this wasn’t New Orleans. There was no hurricane here. No evacuation. I felt like the situation was hopeless, no one could impact this community with just a few hours of volunteering. Working with Project RESPECT, our ob-jective – picking up discarded trash - was an environmental one. There are three essential areas to address in im-proving the environment of a commu-nity: the habitat, the wildlife, and the people. We were clearly addressing the issue of an unsafe habitat by picking up broken glass that had been scat-tered through fields, streets and yards. Now there were parts of the community

the children could play in without worry-ing about stepping or falling on glass. We also addressed the issue of wildlife by picking up trash, making it less likely that animals and pets could try to eat some of the trash and choke or get sick. Our project, however, did not inherently ad-dress the people. This was hard for me because I think that the people are the most important part of the environment. So instead of focusing entirely on picking up trash, I made a conscious effort to

interact with the people who call this trash-strewn neighborhood home. I can tell you stories about many of the people I met, but there are a few who myself and some of the ITSO volunteers got to know better than the others. A few hours into the event, we walked by a house where four little kids were play-ing outside. They were eager to join us, as they started to bring us the trash that was scattered across their yard and in their neighbor’s yards. At a time when I was starting to get tired, the kids were a motivation to keep working hard because they provided me with the opportunity to teach them to care for and respect their environment. In their laughs and smiles, I found the elusive hope that I was search-ing for all morning. To get to know the kids a little better, I let them play with my digital camera. First they liked taking pictures of themselves, then they wanted to take pictures of each other and the other volunteers. They especially liked looking at the pic-tures on the screen after they took them. One of the kids, Michael, was particularly fond of the camera and took some pic-tures that were better than several of the pictures that I took. Michael reminded

me of the character named Rocket in the acclaimed foreign film, “City of God,” a true story about a boy who grows up in one of the toughest and most dangerous slums of Brazil who buys a camera and then is able to pub-lish his photos in magazines and make enough money to move out of the slums. Although there are important differences between Michael and Rocket, the common trait is their in-trigue with technology. This reminded me that I have always had access to new technologies and that I take these technologies for granted. As I head into the IT field, I hope that I will always be able to remember Michael and think of how to make new technologies avail-able to or affordable for disadvantaged children because providing disadvan-taged youth with access to technology can not only spark their curiosity and creativity, but it can give them an op-portunity they would not otherwise have. The energy and excitement with which the kids participated in the clean up reminded me of the passion of Majora Carter who worked with local busi-nesses to transform the South Bronx into an environmentally friendly and literal “green” community. Maybe it would be a little much to expect one of these kids to become the Majora Carter of their neighborhood, but if they have technology, opportunity, and support at their side, anything is possible. ~ Chris Jeske

Winston Churchill once said “kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.” These words could not be a more accu-rate description of my experience at Marquette, particularly as an IT student and the chief-editor of the ITSO Good newsletter. It was a hot Tuesday afternoon, and I set foot in a classroom that would soon change my life. Prof. Ow’s 3:35-4:50 section of Introduction to IT was a re-quirement I presumed to be like all oth-ers. Show my face in class, do the basic requirements to walk out with a decent grade, and move on. I could not have been more wrong. A good friend and I sat in the back corner of the classroom, and as soon as Prof. Ow opened his

mouth on the first day of class, I knew I was in for a wild journey. To be honest, I was under the impression that the wild journey would end immediately after completion of the final project and exam. To my surprise, I was approached by Prof. Ow with regards to adding IT as a major. I resisted time and time again, explaining I would not be able to com-plete 3 majors and I had no desire to drop the ones I already had. With count-less e-mails and meetings with success-ful IT students of years past, I took a chance. I remember signing the forms to officially add IT as my third major, thinking “what am I getting myself into?” That thought was one that would cross my mind hundreds of times over the next several months. Soon after my offi-cial declaration, Prof. Ow approached me to consider a position on the ITSO executive board. I had enough on my plate as it was, with 3 majors, an execu-

tive board position in another organiza-tion, and work hours. In his persistent fashion, Prof. Ow reminded me time and time again of the application deadline. “You can do this, Allie,” he would say encouragingly. After submitting it hesi-tantly, I heard back from the former ex-ecutive board with wonderful news: it was my time to shine! My involvement in ITSO, particularly with ITSO Good, has been overwhelming at times but most importantly – nothing short of the most rewarding experience of my college career. When I became involved with the execu-tive board, people reminded me “this will look great on a resume!” After one year, 8 issues of the ITSO Good newsletter, and countless hours of editing, I’ve come to a shocking realization: putting my e-board title on a resume will not do justice to the experience I’ve had. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with some of the most talented, motivated, and pas-sionate people on Marquette’s campus. Prof. Ow has pushed me farther than I ever thought I would go, and I cannot thank him enough for his time and dedi-cation to his students and the IT pro-gram. Teachers like Prof. Ow give Mar-quette its wonderful name, casting light on the personal, one-on-one experience students look for. His contagious excite-ment for IT is something I hope to carry with me and manifest in my day-to-day life. The members of the executive board have been nothing short of remarkable. The newsletter would not be possible without the talented design, artwork and writings of e-board members. In addition to the newsletter, e-board members have coordinated publicity, revamped the ITSO website, maintained finances for the club, and planned philanthropy events among other tasks. These efforts came together to bring students a truly unique experience with ITSO. In the past, few students declared IT as a major but it has been expanding immensely every year. It is an experience unlike any other to walk into an IT classroom and know every stu-dent by name; to know the companies each student will be joining upon gradua-

tion; to know every student on a per-sonal level. I believe this community feeling is due largely to ITSO and the efforts of executive board members and Prof. Ow. It is a privilege to be a part of this tight-knit group, and I could not be more thankful for the friends I have made through the IT program, both professionals and peers. My last few days at Marquette leave me pondering the same question that ran through my head with every revi-sion of ITSO Good; the question that ran through my head with every all-nighter spent coding a homework as-signment; the question that ran through my head every time I felt over-whelmed by responsibilities: “What am I getting myself in to?” I can finally answer that question. I am walking away from college life with an experience that most people have not had. I was picked out of a crowd by a professor who thought I had potential; potential I hadn’t come close to realiz-ing. I was given a chance that I other-wise would not have seized, and al-though it created stress levels that were off the charts, I am walking away with my head held high. I am proud to be a part of ITSO, I am proud to be an IT major, I am proud to be a Marquette graduate, but most importantly, this experience has left me proud of what I, with the help of others, have been able to accomplish. Thank you, Prof. Ow, for reminding me that I could suc-ceed even when I didn’t think I could. ~Allison Cooney

What Am I Getting Myself Into?

Allison is graduating with a degree in International Busi-ness, Marketing, and IT. She will begin working as a

Business Analyst for Accenture in October.

“My involvement in ITSO, particularly with ITSO Good, has been overwhelming at times

but most importantly – nothing short of the most rewarding experience of my college

career. “

I chose Information Technology as one of my majors because of a reason com-monly seen in many IT students: at the persistence of Professor Ow. Prior to my decision, I had been studying Mar-keting and International Business; my final graduating degree will be in Infor-mation Technology and International Business with a minor in French. I never thought that I could be so inter-ested in a major that, before taking MANA 120, I thought necessitated sit-ting at a computer and coding all day. However, when reflecting over the past two years, I realize that my IT classes have been my favorite. Going through the coursework in the College of Business has not been with-out struggle. Taking IT classes that have a more technical nature than other business and liberal arts classes force students to think outside of the box and in new ways that can be very unfamiliar. Even when taking Web-Based Application Development, one of my most challenging classes at Mar-quette, I still felt that much of the work was difficult, despite having gone through four other IT classes and an internship. Another challenge that I haven’t been the only one to face was graduating during the current economic conditions, and trying to find a job that I finally told myself “just didn’t exist.” After accept-ing a job with a company that eventually rescinded many job offers (including

mine) due to an acquisition, I was left unemployed with three weeks remain-ing in school. The situation hasn’t been pleasant for many soon-to-be graduates, but fortunately for IT stu-dents, our industry is one that has been better than most. I would like to think that I am lucky to have gone to Marquette, where many problems that students face can be helped by our many resources. In my experience, there have been many op-portunities given to me because of the university we attend. Although he is not my advisor, Professor Ow has dedi-cated so much time and effort to help not only with class assignments, but also in helping me find job opportuni-ties; I know I am not the only one. Much of the advice I have to offer other students stems from the challenges I’ve seen while at Marquette. My first piece of advice is to get in-volved as much as possible: in class teams, in service projects, and in student organizations, and not only in organizations associ-ated with your major or college. Try to take on leadership positions in these groups; it will appeal to potential em-ployers and will be a great experience. College is not 100% about getting A’s in classes or going to the library 24 hours a day. My well-rounded schedule has not only made my college experi-ence better, but has also kept me sane for these four years. Also, create relationships with faculty and other students. It will not only help create opportunities for internships and jobs after college, but will last long into the future. As I mentioned earlier, Professor Ow has been a great re-source for me when looking for a job or just asking a question about my PHP code, and I know that many of the fac-ulty members in the College of Busi-ness (and others, of course) are pas-

sionate about helping students truly real-ize and achieve what they are capable of. It never hurts to be able to ask ad-vice of or get a good recommendation from a professor. My last piece of advice has to do with interviewing. In the current shape of the economy, it is very difficult to even get an interview, much less land a job. The fall semester of senior year is a very busy time for many IT students who have

been through an in-ternship that may not be an ideal job right after college. Utilize what resources are available – professors, family members, and networking contacts (and it’s stressed heav-

ily, but really do network as much as possible). Especially in the next year or two, schedule interviews with as many places as possible; offers only come from interviews, and getting more than one offer is not a bad problem. Finally, don’t let the interviewing season make you stressed (like it did me); it is impor-tant to keep focusing on school and hav-ing fun outside of classes while you are still in school. To this years’ graduates: it’s been a pleasure getting to know all of you in and outside of classes, and good luck in the beginning stages of your careers! To younger students: If you haven’t de-clared IT as a major (yet), you should really consider it! If you have, challenge yourself in your classes and good luck in your interviews! ~ Melanie Fraenkel

“I would like to think that I am lucky to have gone to Marquette, where many problems

that students face can be helped by our many resources.”

Melanie is graduating in May with a degree in Interna-tional Business, IT, and a minor in French.

For those graduating from Marquette University this Spring, starting a new full-time job can be both exciting and terri-fying at the same time. Gone are the days of rolling out of bed at 11:00 am and stumbling to class wearing a MU T-shirt and soccer shorts. The new routine will probably include things such as early-morning commutes, wearing pressed clothing, and drinking a lot of coffee in order to get to your desk by the required 8:00 am start time. Success in the workplace requires more than just caffeine and a wrinkle-free shirt. As a Marquette IT graduate, you have re-

cently gained the technical skills and knowledge to succeed at your IT-related tasks in your new position. However, technical skills are only a portion of what is required. The other half of the equation for most is learning to suc-cessfully operate in what will most likely be a highly-structured hierarchical cor-porate environment. Here are a few tips: Listen, learn, and observe. As a new employee, it is important to take the time to determine what resources are available to you in terms of stored com-pany information and standards, as well as people that may be able to provide direction for you. If you find this informa-tion right away, you will spend less time searching for it when you are under pressure to complete a project. Since at least some part of your projects will ei-ther be for someone else in the com-pany or depend on someone else for success, it is important to understand who the people are that you are working with, and what their role is in relation to

you. Below are four types of people that are important to recognize within your organization: Decision Makers – usually C or VP level members of upper- management who oversee large decisions. They are impor-tant because they will most likely deter-mine the final success or approval of your project, especially as you progress in your career and your projects increase in scope and size. Mentors– typically the people you report to directly and are responsible for provid-ing the initial direction of your project. They will usually have a significant amount of experience in the area you are working in, and can be extremely valu-able resources. Sponsors- may be your direct manager or mentor. They are the ones that present your ideas or projects to members of up-per-level management. What they say about you and your ideas/projects mat-ter, so it is important to present a com-pelling business case to those that can get the final approval. Beneficiaries– those that will benefit from your project or ideas, they are cru-cial to have on-board. These people tend to be your coworkers and you should make sure to develop relationships at this level as well. Network. It is important to get to know other people in the industry in both the company and the Business/IT commu-

nity. Many times the old adage of “it's not what you know, but who you know” is very true. Take the time to get to know other people doing similar things to you. Quite often this is a great way to gain both new business contacts as well as valuable information. In the current economy, people you meet can also be some of the most valuable re-sources for finding a new position should you need one. Networking can occur anywhere from next to the water-cooler to corporate events and industry trade shows. Keep current in your discipline. One of the largest advantages recent gradu-ates have is their familiarity with emerging technologies relevant to their field. Keeping this edge requires some effort, but is extremely important. It is all too easy to subscribe solely to the tools and ideas currently in use and let your knowledge of new products and ideas stagnate. Knowing and under-standing emerging technologies allows you to spot potential areas of improve-ment that could be better implemented with a new or better product or process. Keep current by attending trade shows, reading industry-specific publications, utilizing available continuing education resources, and taking advantage of technologies such as RSS to monitor relevant websites and blogs. Although these tips may seem intuitive, you would be surprised at how easily they are forgotten. Your first year out of school will provide many challenges and opportunities, keep these tips in mind, and good luck! ~ Lukas Sparks
