FAQ

What do we call your organization "MISA" ('meesah') or M.I.S.A?
That's a good question. We are M.I.S.A.


What kind of MISA events are there?

Company Nights – come and learn more about job and internship opportunities at different companies.  These usually fall on Thursdays at 6:30 and include free food. Dress is casual.

TGIFs (Thank Goodness It’s Friday) – come and hang out with recruiters in a casual setting at a restaurant or bar.  These are usually on Fridays starting from around 4:30 to 6:00.  Dress is casual.

Social Events – MISA also sponsors several other purely social events. Like a Boat Party at the end of spring.

Volunteer Events – get the chance to lend a helping hand to the MIS BBA programs and to the communities.

NOTE: There are no regularly scheduled meetings.


What am I supposed to wear to your Company Nights?
Our Company Nights are meant to be a very relaxed way for you to meet recruiters. You can come in whatever you wore to school.

What am I supposed to wear to your TGIFs?
The TGIFs are very casual. Wear what you like.

How do I become more involved with MISA?
MISA has many different committees that you can join to be more involved. In order to join a committee simply email the Newsletter Editor for the Newsletter Committee, the Publicity Officer for the Publicity Committee, or the Technology Officer for the Technology Committee.

How much are your dues?
Dues are $10 per semester.

How can I join MISA?
Just show up to any MISA event that we have listed in our events calendar. Once there see the Financial Officer, the financial officer, to pay your dues. We accept payments in the form of cash or check.

What was that thing you said about resumes?
If you attend a company's CN or TGIF we provide them with your resume via our web site. If you have paid your dues you can submit your resume to our Technology Officer or login and upload it yourself.

What is a tera or giga member?
Each semester the top members are recognized. Tera members are the 10 members with the most membership points, Giga members are the next 10 with the most service points. At the end of the semester, the giga members receive prizes and the Tera members get lunch at Salt Lick with the officers. More info here.

What are the requirements to be an officer?
To be the President, first you must be an officer for at least two semesters. The VP Programs and VP Planning positions require you to be an officer for at least one semester. All other officer positions will be up for grabs to any paid member at the end of each semester. The Business Council Representative position is a year long obligation that is only elected at the end of the Spring semester. Typically, the most active members tend to win the officer positions. If you are thinking of running, we strongly encourage you to get involved by joining the different committees and attending all events.
