So I am looking into IT Governance as a future career and I am currently studying General Management with a double major in IS/IT. Im not sure yet what the IS/IT classes will offer me in the technical side of the field, and though I am more interested in the management part I feel that entry level positions will require more technical knowledge. Ive taken the basic computer programming class (mysql, vba for excel, html, etc). Any other suggestions for classes that I should take to prepare me for future jobs (if any). Thanks y'all.

To me, theres middle ground in this argument. I believe the first person who introduced the chief dance actually studied traditional illini dances, why cant we go back to that? Why did we have to get rid of it completely? If we are trying to honor the Illini tribe then do some research, make it historically accurate. But I also dont believe the majority of chief fans were mocking the Illini tribe or wished to do so.

Graduated a couple years ago, never heard anything about it Replacing all of Ikenberry Commons (6-Pack) with new buildings and the dining hall will be huge there. Should be open within a year, and it looks fantastic so far.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 11:42 AM) Oh nice dude. I live in Wardall right now. Where are you the RA at? PAR is kinda plain and it's crowded as hell right now. 4 South, are you Wardall 8 or 9? I know both of those RAs pretty well. Theyre both cool. We should watch some Sox games on the new TV over in Townsend A.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 10:55 PM) I'm currently attending right now. They're going to open one of the largest dinning halls in the country here next year. That's definitely going to be a treat. The food here is alright I guess. Not everything tastes as good as it looks or seems to be. Yea the whole new Ikenberry Commons will be awesome. But Im not a fan of the new dining halls they are opening, such as PAR (where I lived last year). Its a good idea with poor execution. I love the fact that you have so many stations to choose from, but everything they make is fried and they usually serve the same food at lunch and dinner, so your options are actually pretty limited (unless you want hamburgers or pizza twice a day, every day). Im not terribly excited about the food at ISR (where Im an RA) but you can live with it while eating relatively healthy.

I cant get this girl who I work with out of my head. f*** long distance relationships, my head (and eyes) wander so much when they really wouldnt otherwise.

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) former U of I dining hall worker here! woot woot The food wasn't all that bad there, I went to visit my brother at bradley U in peoria and that was way worse. Yea Bradley U tried to sell me on the food there when I went to visit saying it was rated as one of the best in the country and its about the same as U of I. U of I is pretty ordinary, trick is to make your own creations of food from what they serve. That way its not so boring.

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:24 AM) She's already talking about that. She is also talking about going the RA route. She would be a good one. Personally, I'd like to see her that. If she is really interested in it have her contact me, I know the way to get a job, and tell her to join atleast one housing organization that has a higher-up person in housing running it. PM me if needed.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 06:29 PM) We seem to have a few IT people on the board here. I'm in the business as well. Im hoping to be in the business in a few years, hopefully in the IT governance area. Right now Im a student and an RA.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) Looks like bigruss is single and ready to mingle... Haha it sure looks that way by what I said, but I am not. Just curious because I am an RA and was wondering if she lived in my building.

What about the Fighting Irish? Youre going to tell me that EVERY Irish person is not going to find that offensive?

Hey I know we had this conversation in another thread awhile back but where is she living this year? I probably was near her today at convocation (not trying to be creepy).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) I think you guys are missing the point of my thread... and that's the fact that there's only one degree of separation between me and a cast member. That's what I thought was neat. That really is awesome. I think it would be really cool to actually watch the making of the show for a day, or to be an extra on it (even if it is just like a guy in the cafeteria or whatever).

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 05:15 PM) Now Tim and Eric, THAT'S a show. I was thinking about making a thread about it. My friends showed it to me, f***ing hilarity.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 02:28 AM) s***ttttttttttttt captin and icehouse/ i guess thats what you get for being 18. Graduate to what I had in my post. If youre going to drink crap it might as well be the cheapest.

f*** all ya'll haters. But yes, its time for the show to end. Seasons 1-5 were fantastic though.

19 physically. 9 mentally. I still laugh at penis jokes and pictures.

Nasty, cheap as hell, works wonders.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 10:57 AM) That's worse than Pierzynski for Nathan et al.? By far. Im going to say that Bedard will give more back to the Mariners than AJ gave the Giants, but it might just be a supplemental draft pick. Meanwhile, Nathan (one of the best closers) >>>>> Sherrill (A good closer) Bonser and Liriano (Bonser is now bad, Liriano is quickliy getting to that point) Then you have Adam Jones a 23 year old CF all star, and I cant remember the young bullpen arm they got too (I believe it started with an "m"). If Liriano didnt get injured or start sucking like he has then yes, that trade is more rape. But the amount of talent and success so far (and so early) in the return for Bedard is just ridiculous.
