CoB - Faculty - Teaching
We believe an important part of success is caring about others and about your community. Our faculty are active with non-profits and charitable organizations in the community, and they often lead opportunities for students to become involved as well. Read about some of their recent projects:
Dr. Tom Dillon
CIS professor Tom Dillon discovered that 95% of the students admitted to his fall CIS 434 class were doing summer internships this year with companies including Deutsche Bank, Amazon and Deloitte. Since he took over teaching the class in 2010, Dillon has pursued and developed relationships with employers and alumni to help students in what is a complex and rich learning opportunity. This year alone, Dillon hopes to see 45 to 50 professional consultants (about 80-90% of them alumni) engage with the class in some way. Preliminary numbers for the last five years show that the top 10 companies involved in mentorships in the 434 class have hired 260 CIS graduates.
Dr. Bill Grant
Economics professor Dr. Bill Grant is the 1st place 2019 Madison Vision Teaching Award recipient. This award is jointly sponsored by the Faculty Senate and the Student Government Association.
