TANNER
management information systems '20 outstanding grad 

Many professors had an open door policy where you could receive one-on-one instruction.  The professors go above and beyond expectations by creating trust with their students.  I felt encouraged, heard, safe, cared for, and important.


WHY WEBER STATE?


I grew up in Liberty, Utah in the Ogden valley. I attended Weber High school and began taking concurrent enrollment classes. After I graduated, I decided to pursue my degree at Weber State. I have always enjoyed the aspects of business. 


WHY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS?


Technology is continuing to impact business and society. The mix of business and technology within the Information Management degree allowed me to study both. Weber State offers great education, small class sizes, great professors that care, and offer courses at an affordable price.


INCREDIBLE ACCESS


What made the Goddard School unique for me was the professors and the class sizes. I was able to meet with my professors regularly. I was also able to get an internship on Hill Air Force Base due to the relationship Weber State has with the base. I had great resources at my disposal along with encouraging professors. I also had the unique opportunity to attend a study abroad program in Bremen, Germany. That was a great experience. In addition, I was able to attend an internship at Carnegie Mellon University this past summer. Being part of a program at the #1 tech school was unreal. Overall, one of the greatest factors was the support of my professors. 


FACULTY IMPACT


At the beginning of my studies, my major was Business Administration. I changed my major after I attended Dr. Randy Boyle’s “Intro to Information Systems” course. He was a great influence on my studies. He directed me throughout my remaining time at Weber. He wrote me a letter of recommendation for my CMU internship. Dr. Gavin Roberts was another professor that helped me pursue my passion for business. He has helped me while in his course and also after as I am pursuing my master’s degree.


ADVICE


If you want to further your education, take the time to fully dedicate yourself to school. It is more enjoyable when you are “all in”. In addition, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. That is when you learn the most. Seek a professor that will be your mentor throughout your studies. 


WHERE ARE YOU NOW?


I am currently looking for full-time employment. I am pursing a master’s degree next year in information Management. I aspire to be a Chief Security Officer (CISO) of an innovative company.
