After spending two years at Johnson & Wales University studying computer applications and management, I decided to transfer to Hofstra in the fall of 2003. I am a senior and my current major is business computer information systems with a track in E-commerce and Internet technology. As well as completing my B.A, I am taking courses in an e-training program with SmartCertify Direct, Skillsoft, a division of the Microsoft Corportation. These courses are geared toward different aspects of programming and computer management. I became the ISA president in the fall semester of 2004.

Steve has been here at Hofstra since he was a freshman.
He is now a senior BCIS major, and
he is more than happy to have been part of the Information Systems Association as its webmaster and design coordinator since fall 2004.
He plans on graduating in May with his B.B.A., and
staying with ISA until then.
He hopes to have fully trained his replacement by then so that the Web site will continue to be kept up-to-date.
