Association for Information Systems (AIS) Student Chapter at UTD
The mission of the AIS Student Chapter at UT Dallas is to promote the study and utilization of information systems through programs of professional development, social networking, and community development. The club is part of a national organization under the formal umbrella of AIS. The club hosts regular meetings and events throughout the year for students to learn about various technology topics, and enhance their professional skills.
Information Technology and Systems Leadership Council (ITSLC)
The principle objective of the Information Technology and Systems Leadership Council is to complete multiple semester-long projects that add value to the ITS program and current students while building future leaders in the ITS domain. These projects enhance project management, communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Committees within the council are responsible for identifying opportunities within the program, constructing a solution, and implementing that solution with the support of the executive council members. Projects include volunteer work, improved knowledge sharing, outreach initiatives, and competition-planning.
Women in Technology and Business (WIT)
Women in Technology and Business is a professional organization to support and empower women in technology and business fields and provide them with resources to be successful. In addition, WIT aims to break down the stereotypes surrounding technology and business fields, expose more people to how technology can impact their career path, and encourage more women to join technology fields.
